Hi recently been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in lungs & bones it was such a shock after being all clear for 23yrs I'm devastated. I have been told its incurable but hopefully treatable & will be starting targeted therapy I have an appointment next week to discuss results with breast doctor & then will seen oncologist in a couple of weeks for treatment plan. One of the drugs I will be taking is Letrozole but not sure what others will be prescribed alongside. I had chemotherapy before which i found horrendous,& was really unwell all the way through. I know everyone is different with how they cope with any medication but just wondered if there was any one else on targeted therapy for any advice?
Hi, so sorry to hear of your diagnosis, I can’t imagine how you must be feeling right now. I wasn't sure if you were aware there is also a secondary breast cancer group on here, it might be helpful for you, if you feel up to it. Here's the link Secondary Breast Cancer Forum
And don't forget, you can always call the lovely folks here at Macmillan on 0800 800 0000 for a chat about anything. Best wishes
