Hi I have been diagnosed again with metastatic breast cancer, so now in my bones and lungs , not ideal but I’ve just started targeted treatment and would like to know if anyone else is on this treatment ? I feel fine but I don’t know if it’s worth it as I don’t think it as a impact on how long I have to live would love a wee chat if anyone else is going through it .
Hi Weeglesga woman
Hi and welcome to this forum! it isn't a club that anyone wants to join, but it is full of lovely supportive people, with various cancers, so we all understand the situation you find yourself in.
You may get more responses to your question about targeted treatment if you post in the secondary breast cancer forum. Is it worth it? That's something you'll need to discuss with your oncologist, as they should have some information about survival rates with or without the treatment. That said, as many people on here will say....you never know! There are people who post in this forum who are living years beyond what they expected, so you mustn't give up hope!
I'm sure more people will come along and reply to you soon. It is a bit quiet on here....it tends to be at weekends.
I'm glad you're feeling fine....long may that continue!
best wishes
Kate....also living in Scotland, as I presume you are?
Thank you Kate for replying
I will definitely ask in the breast forum hopefully someone is on the same treatment .
I know I should be happy that they are offering some treatment at all they already gave me my survival rate that’s why I was in a quandary about taking it , but I have started so so I’ll see how I get on in the nxt couple weeks
