Hello to all you lovely people, got to hospital to find oncologist stuck in a far off land unable to get back to UK.
Saw registrar and the news she could tell me is it is in various spots down the spine mainly in sacrum, small spot in left breast(the one I had surgery on) and need another MRI this time for the liver.
She did say no chemo but a change in hormone medication and biophosphanates(think that's right). Nothing will change until I see consultant 17th May.
On the whole people I think...
I'm having chemo for secondary breast cancer and despite the support of family and friends i feel totally alone and isolated at home.

I have not been on here for so long, but need to write my thoughts down. I shall probably waffle on, my darling husband is so ill now and I am losing him. Feel so bloody angry, helpless, sad it really seems to be sinking in now. What will we do without him, cannot not imagine my life or my childrens lives without him. Our son Charlie, such a fantastic runner, Bobbie was his coach, he is letting it all go cannot focus at all without his Dad at his side, he is 17 yrs and become Essex 200m champ with...
My dad has stomach and liver cancer....was given months in January 2010....I can do all the practical and emotional support in the world...but...after that is done....I can't rest or sleep...my mind just keeps going. How do others cope please? I work full time, have a family and am now a carer...I feel numb and cannot cry and yet I know that I will feel better if I do......nights are the worst....can't remember that last good nights sleep I had...I accept we are going to lose him, I just don...
Hello to all.
Well tomorrow is d-day will it or won't it have travelled to any other organs.
I have to tell you that I'm absolutely terrified but whatever the outcome I'm not ready to give up yet.
Still waiting for some pain relief but think I'm learning to deal with it better, but me hubby and daughter went out to dinner and I still can't sit on a dining chair without serious pain but food was lovely.
I adore the sun and have been looking forward to sitting in conservatory...
I have been reading an American site tonight that suggests some people have extended their prognosis by improving their immunity through diet and supplements? My dad was diagnosed last week and I desperate for something positive to cling to? Does anyone know if there is any other info out there on this subject of if it is unsubstantiated?
Well after a week of trying to pretend my hair was just getting a bit thinner a neighbour- who is s hairdresser came and shaved it all off .Strangely feel much happier now - more in control. I never realised I had such big ears.

Its 3 years today that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a beautifully sunny day much like today. It was a day filled with sadness in many ways too. I went to a funeral that morning with my mum as one of our old neighbours from when I was growing up had passed away. His name was Mr Cross and he was a lovely man. He grew vegetables in his garden and used to bring things for us like runner beans. It was a really lovely service and I just remember how sad his family were.
After the funeral...
