    I'd hang fire for me Bc diagnosis March 2020 start of covid surgery treatment then letrozole Jan 2021 met tumour on spine inoperable treatment to spine didn't go down cdk4 frightened route now found out 2 weeks ago met to liver appointment with liver consultant Friday so will see in your case id want more clarification best of luck with all to come xx

  • With a negative biopsy and negative PET, I can't imagine it's cancer, not active at least. Did you have neoadjuvant (before surgery) chemo?

  • No chemo at all. It’s because 2 have increased in size… all very stressful as it’s been 8 months
