Hi @Suzi14. Hope you are going OK.
I also have mets., diagnosed in July, 2017. They are in my bones from my skull to my pelvis and in my liver. I also had precancerous cells in my lungs.
This is a recurrence after 15 years.
I have had a mastectomy, I.V. chemo., Tamoxifen for five years, breast reconstruction, implants, nipple reconstruction (which I watched the doctor perform), tattooing, replacement of my implants, another nipple reconstruction, more tattooing and needling.
Two and a half weeks ago I started taking Palbociclib and Letrozole after I.V. chemo. and oral chemo. The only side effects so far are hot flushes (again, grrr..) from the Letrozole and the Palbociclib sometimes makes me feel faint or my heart races.
So, I work part-time, do aquarobics, yoga, walk, garden, do my housework and just get on with life.
