I have just been through a CT Scan due to a recurrance just above the Tram Flap area from my first Breast Mastectomy and Reconstruction in 2010. This Scan showed two hotspots 1 in my womb and the other in my bones, So had an MRI and the news was that the Breast Cancer is now in my bones. Seeing another Consultant next week for a hopeful treatment plan that will also treat the recurrance in my breast as it is on the skin in that area. So now I am on a completely new journey after having 2 Mastectomies with Reconstruction from the buttock area and the removal of my Ovaries and Fallopian tubes as a precautionary back in Feb this year. Started to feel ill and though it was just me recovering so here I am. They said both areas can be treated and I hope they can be. But what is worrying me is that at the local hospice where I go, the manageress mentioned to me that perhaps I should think about Pallative care as she has been following my case for the past two years. I was utterly shocked by this and told her there was no way I was going down that route of which she replied well maybe in the future. Second to that my doctor was reviewing my pain killers and mention that the next level may need to be Morphine as I am on the strongest pain killer at moment (Tramadol) and again I said No Way do I want that. I cannot get those two negative things out of my mind as they have put them there. Yes I am worried, but then my own Consultant regarding the Breast Cancer has told me that I can be treated and has said to me I will live and do not have weeks or months left, but knows a lot of women who have lived 10 years plus after bone mets. (So the dilemma is the contraction of professionals and some that seem to think I am ready for the scrap heap!!!) My next worry is what the treatment is going to be and I have listed my questions for next week when I go to the bone specialist. Don't know anymore than that, as to what, where size it is and I thought they would of had to do a biopsy to clarify rather than just know from an MRI Scan. I do have oestioporosis and had this before I was dx with Breast Cancer. I also have the BRAC2. I am pretty well educated regarding the Genetics, Breast Cancer and know nothing about this new journey that faces me. So any help would be grateful. I have no intention of dying.
