  • Hi

    i was diagnosed with spread to my sternum, lungs and lymph nodes in January.  Have you had a bone biopsy? After mine they were able to start me on targeted therapy which within the first cycle stopped the pain and the lump has shrunk.  I won’t know until 3 months CT scan whether it is working but it certainly feels much better.  Fingers crossed for you it’s a scary time but things have moved forward so much xx

  • Thanks  so much least that gives  me some  hope about  the pain

    They are now doing  MRI scan on Sunday  but I don't  see the oncology  doctor  until b 18th April  they had there meeting  but to be sure need MRI  results  

    Really  hoping  it's working  for you best wishes 

  • Hi Gez,

    Sorry only just seen this post. I have secondary breast cancer spread to the chest wall. It has shown itself in the form of a rash but so far that is the only symptoms I have. I have been put on capecitabine, a chemo tablet which they say gets good results. Hopefully they'll have come up with some suggestions for you by now.

    Good luck with whatever you're on x
