Hi Jilly
I had no sign anything wasa amiss until I had what I thought was a gall bladder attack. Ultrasound showed liver was riddled with lesions and a liver biopsy scheduled. The day before that appointment I was back at the routine breast scan following up something they'd wanted to investigate. Two tiny tumours in the left breast found with ultrasound and biopsy. When I told them about the scheduled liver biopsy the head honcho talked with my gp and liver man and all concluded the liver was breast secondaries. A week later chemo started. I went back to work full time in 2011 and hated being stuck in front of a computer again and retired 2012. That year I had a lumpectomy and radiation. Am on herceptin 3 weekly. Am otherwise well other than age related aches and pains. My oncologist explained early on that this is a chronic condition which can be managed. But no one can say what the outcome may be. I organized all the things that were causing me anxiety - will, super, legals, family relationships etc as best I could early on. Life has settled down into a probably different normal.
Cheers
