Well it now appears I have hit the jackpot and have 2 primary cancers. A core biopsy had confirmed cancer in my left breast, with metastasis on the lining of my right lung (pluera) which was causing a build up of fliud.
I then had a bone scan and abdominal CT, the bone scan was clear but unfortunately I have multiple peritonel metatasis, including both ovaries. Initally the Oncologist assumed that they had all come from the breast, but due to the extent of the disease they began to question that.
I had a biopsy of a tumor on my omentum done and sure enough it is ovarian cancer (stage4). I have already had 1 round of dose dense chemo (nab paklitaxel) once a week for 3 weeks then one week off, and now I go in Friday to discuss a "revised treatment plan". The hardest thing has been the"goal post shifting", the original diagnoses was of stage 4 Breast cancer so a treatment plan (6-12months of chemo) had been set out and now everything is up in the air again. Anyway hopefully on Friday I will know where we are going, probably surgery followed up by the chemo as per the current plan.
