@Anne94 I totally agree with you, in that there is so much time and money put into early BC, but you would think there would be a priority also in Metastatic BC. I lost somebody dear last year to Mets, hers came back after 15yrs. I agree also that a recurrence is and would be hard, and Ive lived through 1 already, so in total Ive been going 8 yrs with 2 diagnosis. BUT...honestly?? it is NOTHING in comparison the fear of a recurrence compared to Mets.
My Oncologist is not watching for Breast Cancer after each checkup I have with my Surgeon, (makes me wonder why they bother doing a mammo on my right then) he is watching for a secondary. 3yrs ago I thought he was pessimistic and I was so angry as Ive been great ever since well relatively lol. Thing is thats his reality and his job and nobody knows. As you say how it travels around our bodies without ever knowing. To have been through it twice I am still baffled how I never felt a thing nor felt sick absolutely nothing...only treatment ever compromised my living...so odd to me.
You sound like you are doing well and I so believe regardless we just live to the fullest, I dont think beyond that anymore because I dont want to miss a single moment of right now :)
Here's to a complete cure!! because really, you would think by now we would be far more advanced especially at picking it up before it actually has hit but my Oncologist said we just aren't there and there are no tests that are in front of it. :/
Big hugs!!! hope youve had a great weekend!! xx M
