Hi
I'm now 7 mths down the line from being diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in the bone have had 1 strong dose of Radiotherapy and on Palbociclib and Anastrazole feeling so fed up with having to take the meds with side affects and having to go to the Chemotherapy unit for bone injections and tablets I have bloods done the day before, every month and can't see the end of it told its not curable all the consultant says we'll manage it but it won't be cured so feel there's no light at the end of the tunnel as I felt when I had breast cancer in 2012 when I had that diagnosis then yes it was a shock but after 10 yrs on Tamoxifen I had some sort of future now I feel there isn't, has anyone else had these feelings xx
Hi Babs2k
I also have secondary breast cancer and totally understand the frustration of having incurable cancer and the treadmill of ongoing treatment. I have a different kind of breast cancer so don’t have personal experience of the treatments you are on, but my understanding is it’s very effective at controlling cancer for many people. So please don’t give up on the idea you have a future. It may be different from what you expected but hopefully your cancer can continue to be managed and the side effects will be ok.
