Counselling

Have not jumped on here for quite some time, nearly two years, Wow how things have changed since that time. I am now stage IV as my cancer moved to my liver, at the appointment after surgery I was told of discovery in lymph nodes. I had a full auxillary clearance and was sent for full bone scan and MRI and full body CT. Results from scans showed 5 spots in the liver, they were unsure if it was cancer as spots were small- too small to do biopsy on and not viable for surgery as to far apart . I was already booked in for chemo to start so oncologist wanted to go ahead with this and if chemo affected the spread them that's was confirmed stage IV.  Kept thinking and praying it was fatty liver.... Chemo (red Devil) started, 3-4 months of 4 sessions every three weeks, lost my hair by the second session, nausea and tiredness main symptoms. Husband had lost his job so I had to continue to work casually from home when I was on the off weeks of chemo (he found a job not long after) at the end of chemo had another scan on the liver.... 5 spots had gone to three stage IV confirmed. I was devastated diagnosis was December 2021. Started medication palbociclib and letrozole day after boxing day, have been through two fairly bad depression stages but am currently doing ok. Coming up to two years since original diagnosis, current scans show spots have depleted to very minimal (little scar of one spot) blood levels have dropped, neutrophils at 1.2 at the moment, did go below one for two weeks, bloods done every month, scans every 4 months, oncologist every 2 months. Side effects, bone ache,  thin hair, tiredness, diarrhoea. Have had covid twice but thankfully not to severe and anti virals are amazing. My life has definitely changed and am currently starting process of deciding if I go down reconstruction path, have met breast surgeon who can do two types, either the Lat Dorsi Flap or tissue expansion and implant. Have a lot of research and thinking to do. Hope everyone on here is doing ok
