hi all, following an ultrasound discovered I had liver mets. Originally breast cancer in 2015, chemo, radio, mastectomy, reconstruction, failed so removal and now this, I must have been so wicked in a previous life, appointment with specialists on 10th - this waiting is a nightmare, anyone have any guidance as to what I can expect ?!?!
Hi Crazyknitter
I can't answer your question and for that I am sorry but I do know that when you post a question, any question, it is usually because you need a soul to reach out and touch you.
This is such crap news. Right now your world has tipped and it feels like it's not the same place it was a few hours ago.
Stand strong and know that we ladies stand with you at this time. On your journey ahead remember you can scream, shout and wail and we will be here x
Sending you hugs and Love.
Hi crazyknitter ...it’s nightmare isn’t it . The same happened to me , except I has a CT following odd liver enzyme blood results . The next step was a liver biopsy to see if it was the same cancer as the original or had changed Her status ( it hadn’t ) I went straight onto paclitaxol and had a CT again after 9 weeks to see if it was working . It seems to me that all hospitals do things differently . Whatever happens you have not been wicked ,it is cancer that is wicked ! Secondary spread can be managed , you are in the worst part , the waiting ,have you still got a BCN ? I hope you have got some support ....best wishes
I felt I needed to reply to you..... definitely not wicked, I think these situations come to the best of us (well we are), to save others that couldn't manage with such situations. (I do need to convince myself of this though, I do think why should kind people get such things, when there are so many cruel people in the world sailing on by with not a care or a worry).
I don't know what to say, the waiting is the worst part of all this along with processing it in our mind and how we deal with it, then slowly comes the strength. The liver is an amazing organ and one that can regenerate. My dear Dad had tumours in 90% of his liver and we didn't even know, at this time he was living a normal life.
and you are walking a path many of us fear every day, we always need to remember how far treatment has come and how fast treatments are changing; there is so much they can do to help and heal the liver.
There are groups on this forum for secondaries that might offer ideas and help. Keep posting here too, we are here for you and will offer help and advice if we can, most of all we can offer support, comfort, laughs - you name it will we be here for you.
Sending you hugs and love xxx

Noticed you created a blog last night about secondary breast cancer in liver and wanted to let you know there is a Secondary Breast Group here you could check out and join to ask any questions about treatments and get some support from other members in similar situations.
