Hello everyone. I’ve just been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in my liver and lung. I’m in complete shock as it was only picked up on a scan for appendicitis and I have no pain or symptoms. I was treated for primary bc in 2019 and after a second clear annual mammo I decided I could take the risk of getting a new job and moving from Leeds to Plymouth. Just a week before I was due to move I was told they were worried about the lesion and nodule seen on my scan. I had to move to Plymouth and then wait for my scans and notes to transfer from Leeds to Plymouth before I could see an oncologist. It’s been a very long and hard 2.5 months waiting for a diagnosis. Part of me is relieved to know instead of being in awful limbo but most of me is devastated and so guilty about putting my friends and family though this again. I’m on my own in a new job, in a new city and although I’m now closer to my family I’m a long way from my friends. My oncologist is lovely and is very positive as it’s been caught so early and I’m starting treatment in 2 weeks time. Looking forward to chatting to all,of you in the club none of us wanted to be a member of xx
