Spread to tummy lining and adrenal gland

Hi everyone, had a Petscan on Saturday results today, spread to my stomach lining and adrenal gland now very small but there, has anyone else been in this position? If so how was it treated? I have to have a biopsie done to confirm same cancer then possible infused chemo again,

  • Hello @Glynnis
    I hope you are coping OK. I was recently diagnosed with BC Mets to stomach lining. LobularER+Her2-. Previously, 2016 early stage lobular BC.
    I have been on Abemocyclicic and Fulvestrant for 2 months now and the hope is to shrink it. Hopefully more scans in a month.
    It is a big shock and it seems quite rare to spread to stomach. The new reality is hard but this forum really helps, as does my lovely Oncologist and treating team. Hope you have the same!🌸
  • Thanks for the update @Glynnis. I hope you get a good result from chemo and your side effects aren't too bad. Let us know how you are going with it. 
  • All the best for the chemo @Glynnis .... keep your fluids up and I hopefully the side effects won't be too bad.  Eat well, sleep when you feel like you need it ... and take care xx
  • Update: was the same breast cancer so starting infused chemotherapy tomorrow, once a week for 3 weeks then week off, then start again for about 3 months then will be rescanned to see how we going 
  • Thankyou cath62 earliest I could get in for biopsie is 24th then see oncologist on 28th so not too long to wait after biopsie, fingers crossed it’s still The breast cancer and hasn’t changed they pretty sure it is so get the results then move on to next chapter in this hideous disease 
  • Hi @Glynnis, I think it's normal to be frightened. I would be. Shame you can't see your oncologist sooner. You could ask to get in earlier if a cancellation. Medicine is so amazing now and treatment is so much better. Wish I could give u a really big hug xx
  • Hi @Cath62 see onc again on 28/4 biopsie being done on 24/4. They talking infused chemo again. One thing in my favour the new spread are small. I’m just scared now because the bastard is in my organs 
  • So sorry to hear this news, @Glynnis ….

    As @Cath62 says, your team will fill you in on the probable treatment plan after your biopsy results … I would think you’d be seeing your Onc again fairly soon.  

    Where abouts are you?  Will you be able to continue seeing your earlier Onc? 

    Take care & all the best for the biopsy results & your ongoing appointments xx


  • That's not good to hear @Glynnis. It must have been a shock. I am not in your situation so not sure about how they treat these things. Hopefully someone on here can comment. When do you see your doctor again? I guess when they have the results a treatment plan can be developed quickly.
