  • Hi everyone 

    I went to get my results yesterday at the respiratory clinic and it's not so good ,they have found nodules both on my lungs and liver,I have to go back for a biopsy at some point this week which I am terrified. Has anyone been in a similar position. I know it not be curable but people tell me it's manageable these days. It's a horrible situation to be in ,I never thought that my breast cancer would come back after all it was only stage 1 breast cancer how wrong I was. Can anyone please give me some advice.

    Love Talbot xx

  • Mine has just ‘come back’ after 15 years - although I guess it was there all along. It is a lot to take in, but even in less than two months since diagnosed I  am beginning to adjust to the ‘new normal’, slowly. The good news is that treatments are improving all the time so there is much room for hope. I had a fortnight in hospital (admitted as an emergency after an MRI for worsening back pain), had pretty swift radiotherapy which has improved things a lot and am now on hormone and targeted treatment. I used my fortnight in hospital to get my affairs in order - that’s just me! I have confided in close family and a small handful of friends and will attend a support group for the first time this week. There are little ways in which you can take back a bit of control - you will work out what those are for you, I’m sure. Best wishes to you, you are definitely not alone.
