Will I see my girls grow up
only finished my treatment in November. Chemo and radiotherapy as preventative treatment after successful lumpectomy that had spread to 2 lymph nodes. Now on holidays in Queensland and after a freak accident at Movie World that hurt my ribs I had a CT scan to check for damage I have received the devastating news that I have 8 - 10 tumours in my lungs! I can't help but assume the worst. How long will I realistically have before I die?

- Does anyone have any updates for this lovely lady ?.xx
- Fingers crossed. No point in saying don't be anxious but getting the information straight is a pretty critical first step. Best wishes.
- Sounds more hopeful for you @casgirl123. Keeping you in thoughts and prayers.. hugs
- Oh @casgirl123 I have everything crossed for you xxx
- Hey there @casgirl123 please keep us posted how you go. I forgot to mention I had a heart scan post chemo which showed some damage and my gp wasn’t happy with the report so he sent me to another radiologist and it came back normal and so did the repeat scan. I also had an initial ct scan after diagnosis and before chemo that showed a ? Lesion on my lung and again the oncol wasn’t happy with the that one either so he sent me for another and it was comfirmed as scar tissue. It was also repeated post chemo and it was the same. I have everything crossed for you lovely. Biggest hug. Margie xxx
- Oh @casgirl123 we are all holding our breath with you hoping it is a big stuff up and at the very least things are looking much more positive. Please let us know how things go. Kath x.
- So nice that many ladies can share their experiences this is why we come here. Xx we all wish you the best
- Thanks for for all your comments and private messages. I saw my oncologist yesterday. I'm having a PET scan Thursday to see what it definitely is. My oncologist and the radiologist can't see what the other doctors in Queensland were talking about. They can't see these 8 - 10 tumours, but maybe but the resolution hasn't copied across onto the disc. They see one enlarged lymph node that yes probably is cancer, but at the same time it can sometimes be indicative of damage from my heart failure which I suffered in August (chemo induced). A glimmer of hope. Will just have to wait and see. Results on Friday.
- Thanks for sharing, feeling a lot more optomistic about things now. It is so hard not to let thoughts run wild sometimes.
- Hi there thanks to all on here who have given us all reassurance about living with MBC. I think it must be so hard to know if we even have it in the first place as I’m assuming you don’t always have symptoms. I worry that my osteo symptoms are nasties sometimes and it’s not recommended we get scanned all the time either so thanks for posting and letting us know it is something we can all live with.
