Breast Cancer

Hi NikkiNikNak,  so sorry you find yourself in this situation.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer around mid December and the waiting was killing me too, it's absolutely awful.  There is constant waiting after each step in the process.  What helped me was talking to people on this site and trying to keep busy so that my mind wouldn't wander.

I don't know anything about bone cancer but I do know that breast cancer is very treatable even if lymph nodes are affected so keep trying to be positive, keep reaching out on this site and try and keep busy.

Really hope you get good news from your bone scan.

Sending big hugs and good wishes xx

Thank you so much for the reply. Sorry to hear your diagnosis. Have you started any treatment yet? Hope all goes well for you. 

Yes you are right. Keeping busy is the best thing to do! And I am! 

Hopefully next week I will get my results & a Treatment plan put in place! 

Thanks again, Take care xx

Hi  and another warm welcome to the forum. Sorry you find yourself here and we’d all agree that the waiting is tortuous. I felt so much better once I knew what kind of beast I had and a treatment plan. Like you my mum died from breast cancer so it’s never been far from my thoughts. Just wanted to say that there are many here with bone mets who are doing well. I have a friend who has these and takes daily oral chemo which seems to be working really well. Things have moved on so much in breast cancer treatments in recent years. 
Wishing you well and hope you get good results very soon. Whatever your plan, there will be people here with similar and this is a very supportive group. Love and a big virtual hug, HFxx

Thanks NikkiNikNak.

No treatment started yet but surgery is tomorrow and I can't wait to get it done as I'm fed up with the waiting.  My house is super clean on the plus side as I've kept busy by cleaning. HappyFeet1 makes a good point about bone mets and progress in breast cancer in recent years so try not to worry, keep yourself busy and reach out whenever you need to talk.

When are you expecting your bone scan results? 

Sending big hugs and good wishes xx
