Hi, my mum had breast cancer 8 years ago,which 2 years ago which came back in her bone, following on from a recent eye test she was referred to an eye specialist. He detected something and requested an mri of her brain.Yesterday we were called to see him, where he gave us the devastating news that it has spread to her brain. Oncology have requested another mri which she is having on monday. They have also started her on steroids and referred her to radiology , we dont know what stage she is yet as not due to see consultant until later this month.
The type of breast cancer is HER2 positive x
So sorry to hear this news, my primary is also her2 positive breast cancer and I was told breast cancer is particularly susceptible to radiotherapy and therefore treatment is more successful than for other cancers.
Update on my mum, we have found out today that mum now has cancer in her lower spine. She was admitted to hospital after loosing her mobility and becoming incontinent.She is now bed bound in hospital waiting to hear from the radio therapy team as to whether they will be able to give her treatment. Has anyone else been through this?
