Three weeks into my journey.
Hi everyone, i wanted to say hi and thank you to everyone for the useful comments puts on this page. I started my journey 3 weeks ago when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast after going to the doctor with a suspected hematoma to my breast after a simple fall. Sadly results came back with a diagnoses of infiltrating ductal carcinoma and infiltrating lobular carcinoma, which means a lump in my breast, milk ducts and in my lump glands, after ultrasounds, CT scans and MRI of both breast and Brain, as well as core biopsy of my breast and lump glands, we have also discovered it is now in my Liver. Thursday this week is full results of whether it has also travelled to my brain, fingers crossed it stopped at my Liver. Then finally a course of action of whether it is chemotherapy first then mastectomy, or other way round. Again thank you for all your helpful comment, reading other people stories helps you fell like your not alone.

Hi all, Very new to this unfortunatley I have been diagnosed with secondary BC without any preliminaries with early BC. I have bone mets which i thought was musco sleletal issues from a fall off a horse, I am 47 with an 8 year old girl and terrified. I have started hormone therapy to starve my cancer and doctor says this could work for a long time but no gaurantees. Can anyone let me know anything about this. Thanks

Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I have secondary breast cancer. Was originally diagnosed in Sept 2006 with stage 4 BC and had chemo, mastectomy, and radiation. Then in June 2011 we found bone mets and a new primary in other breast and lymph nodes. I then had chemo and hormone therapy, (though my original diagnoses was triple negative some of the secondaries were eastrugene positive) then in June 2012 we found a 4cm tumor in the liver. I then had more chemo, didn't work now 8cm so we then tried another chemo with success and have shrunk it to 3 cm in the liver and after 4 months with no treatment we haven't had any growth so things stable at the moment. I have an amazingly supportive husband and 3 children, 2 girls 19 and 17 and a boy who is 14. Hopefully we can control these secondaries for a long long time.
