Hello
I am new to this forum. Three years ago I was diagnosed with metastatic breast in the sternum. I am taking Letrosole which seems to be controlling it well. I would be very interested to hear from anyone else who has had this particular diagnosis.

I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in the sternum only a few days ago and have also to have further tests on a ‘suspicious area’ in my liver. The diagnosis was worse than I was expecting snd I’m feeling totally overwhelmed.
Hi Milliemoomoo
Many thanks to you and Wino for replying to my introductory message. I hope the results of further tests for you are better than your worries. I have also been warned that my cancer could spread to my lungs , liver, or brain so I’m certainly not complacent because so far I am lucky. None of us knows what’s round the corner.
Very best wishes to you and Wino.
Hi I’ve have bone mets in my sternum too along with it in my hip and spine just a little, mine is just in the bone and no organs, I’ve been having my first line of treatment now for 2 years so that’s phesgo injections and letrozole. Just got my scan results today of stable as I’ve been since chemo finished. I feel very lucky I’m still on my first line of treatment it’s working well with hardly any side effects my oncologist is over the moon with my situation and so I go to the next 3 month scan as positive as I feel now
