Hi All, I was diagnosed with IBC on 18/10/11.
Had the usual treatment, including Herceptin & Tamoxifen. Was going well until I was diagnosed with brain mets on 20/6/14.
I had a 3cm tumour removed ...
Dear Suegan
How brave you are, and how resilient! I'd be a mass of jelly trying to deal with all that! I am so sorry you feel so weak all the time - do you have people to help you with shopping, school runs etc? If there's anything at all I can do to help, please let's know.
I have had a double mastectomy and have mets in my lower back, which thankfully hasn't changed since my first diagnosis in 2010. I get tired quicker now, but still have a day looking after my delightful grandson, I'm secretary of the Northern Breast Cancer Support Group, & I play piano for two little sessions a week at a secondary college. I do drive, but can't go far. Happy to use pubkic transport. Are you in Melbourne?
