Hello Deb,
My story is very similar to yours and i feel the way you feel, shocked and angry. We did nothing wrong!!Its not our fault!!
I went for my regular two yearly mammogram end of July 2024 (on time). I was called back after bioposy and told chemo and breast surgery. After PET scan and on my way to chemo, i was called in by oncologist and told change of plan due to spread in bone. WOW!!!!!! i am a super organised teacher and do everything on time and all preventative check ups on time, just like you. How can this be? i also stopped the HRT that i commenced four months prior and probably sped up my ER+ PR+ cancer, this is another thing I feel guilty about.
Its been a few weeks waiting for bone biopsy results and blood results. This week I finally commence Letrozole then CDK4/6. I am frightened of side effects but i will not give up. I will fight. You can too!!!
