I didn’t know 30 percent becomes Mets,I thought there was much less chance than that, that’s very depressing indeed and terrifying.
I'm sure this post was not meant to put you in a tailspin. I get it! I do understand your concern as I was less than happy when I read this post.
Not everyone equates to whatever % and some are fortunate enough to sail through. Others have family history and as my GP reminded me recently you can't run away from your genes (not BC related comment for me).
For me, I met my breast surgeon at Breastscreen. He delivered the diagnosis and I had quite an audience, husband, counsellor, nurse and others. Amongst his comments were you will be my patient for the next 10 years. I was astounded by that comment but needed to keep up with the diagnosis.
Upon reflection I understand the 10 years as I'm in it and collected both a medical and gynaecology oncologist along the way as well as now on my third set of aromatose inhibitors.
I haven't been given a % nor NED.
I'm in the middle of it and following instruction to hope that METs doesn't turn ip. My Mum had METs. Is it in the genes or is it just how it will unfold. Who knows! At present I'm in a world of pain but that's outside of BC.
Be confident that you've given it your best shot. Look after yourself
Take care
