Hi all on the secondary breast cancer site, I’ve been wondering if any of you have made it to 5 years + with this disease?

I have secondary breast cancer to the bones and I’m 2 years since my diagnosis but have wondered how others have fared with their diagnosis 

understand if it’s too gloomy to report on but would appreciate any feedback

thanks

  • Hi Starflower

    something I would like feedback on also. I have just had my secondary breast cancer to the bones diagnosed .

  • Hi Starflower,

    Prognosis isn't something that anyone can predict. Some people can get bone mets, start basic treatment, and have that treatment keep them stable for 10+, even 20+ years.

    Others aren't so lucky and the cancer progresses on treatment, and the treatment needs to be changed.

    My wife hasn't been very lucky, but she's over 3 years out from 2ndary diagnosis now, and we still have many more treatments to try.

    Cheers,

    Andy
