Hi everyone I was diagnosed with metaplastic breast cancer last year, I had 10 rounds of chemotherapy which made the lump grow, followed by a masactomy and radiotherapy then I took capocatapine for 6 rounds. I thought I was cured as they got all the tumour out in April. However I had a pet scan last week and they have found a lump in my lung, they have said it’s secondary breast cancer and isn’t curable. I’m waiting on next steps and a biopsy but I’m really struggling I’m a single mum to a 2 1/2 year old and the oncologist thinks I may only hve a year left.
im hoping they are wrong has anyone on hear in a similar situation who has beaten the odds.
they have said they will probably start me on sacituzumab govitecan which will keep me going, I have no symptoms and feel really well which I hope means it’s been caught early.
i can’t bear the thought that my son having a life without me he will live with my mum and brother and his wife and nephews if it comes to it.
i want to beat the odds I’ve heard of people living 10+ years despite the diagnosis I’m hoping this will be me has anyone been given a similar diagnosis and are still fighting years on?
