Thanks Jenny,
Was feeling very alone in this, no real family history of cancer and everyone is very empathetic but can't possibly understand.
I don't really understand much yet, have done so much research lately feeling a little overloaded.
I am really pleased to hear you are well now. Were you feeling unwell when you were first diagnosed or how did your journey start?
I have constant pain in my back and a feeling of being bloated and generally sore in the abdomen but I only went to my doctor to get a script refill. I had been diagnosed with Fybromyalgia about 15 years ago, had bilateral lumpectomy about 3 years ago but nothing suspicious in pathology and have been living with pain for years so didn't pay much attention to new pain. I was told at the hospital when I had lumpectomy that I had blood in my urine so followed up with GP. Had u/s and cystoscope but nothing found. Moved to Bundy and asked new GP ( locum) to do urine test to check, told him history and when he found blood he ordered an u/s same day. Called me in early the next day and told me they found liver mets. I've been on a roller coaster of tests ever since, so far seems to be only breast and liver thankfully.
