Hi in 2017 I had breast cancer I lost my left breast and coped relatively well with that and all my treatment... 5 weeks ago I had a biopsy done of my left eye orbit and was told 2 weeks later that I have metastic breast cancer... (Seems weird saying to people I have breast cancer in my eye) I'm yet to find out what treatment I have to have or when it starts... I called oncology department and explained the situation and asked what was going on as I'm worried this horrid cancer will start to affect my optic nerve and possibly lose my sight only to be told the woman doing appointments was on holiday for a fortnight and she will be in touch when she gets back.... How can they do this... I mean not have anyone to fill her shoes while she was on holiday... I'm in turmoil I don't know what's going on I'm stressing more now than I did the first time round I just feel no one cares....
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I can completely understand how stressed you must be feeling after discovering that your breast cancer has spread to your eye.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the secondary breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. To save you typing all this out again you could copy and paste it into the new post.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
