in Breast Cancer #1
I have been busy with work and have not been able to keep up with the postings. It seems almost everyday someone else discovers they have mets. I would like to hold a weekly (or possibly a daily) vigil for our dear sisters who are dealing with treatment and in particular those with mets.

hugs
Mariam

    Great idea
    I have a scan in a couple weeks, so far so good for me, but although I remember all in my daily prayers an organized vigil is a plus!

    I have Bone Mets
    Yes,Mariam, it dose seem that there are more people on this Breast Cancer site(or other cancer types)appearing everyday. Some do have metastasis to other parts of their bodies,like the brain,bones or other orgens. Others have no reaccurances or mets at all,ever. That is the progression of this "disease" called Cancer.

    I think that we already have many vigils on this site for any "Pinks" in treatment and those with mets,too. But you can never have "too many" people praying for you! I would love to join yours.

    Prayers and (((HUGS)))

    What you are doing is very
    What you are doing is very thoughtful. It does seem that more and more of us are getting hit with mets. Mine are to some lymph nodes between my lungs.

    To the newbies here, please don't let this scare you. There are many who have been dealing with mets for a long time and are continuing to live each day to the fullest.

    Hugs,

    I am so sorry to hear the cancer marker has changed for the bad. I finally got my port installed last Wednesday but I still haven't been scheduled for chemo! I'm getting desperate since my pain has gone from discomfort (thought my problem was muscle for about 2 months) to the writhing and crying stage. I can now feel the "area of activity" on my spine and it's very noticeable.
    After chemo begins (how I wish for it to happen) I'll be getting the marker test every 3 weeks.
    I so hope your new meds lower those markers!! You will be receiving a lot of prayer from me.
    Big Hugs,
    Lynne

    I was diagnosed with bone
    I was diagnosed with bone mets after a rib biopsy in 2009 after a 22 year remission. My original breast cancer was diagnosed in 1987. This year, I have been 25 years and am on xgeva and faslodex.

    I am a 3 year
    I am a 3 year survivor.My last mammo in January I was told no more for a year.This scares me.I've had 3 benign tumors since my malignant in the 3 years.I feel like I prefer to make it a 5 year survivor for me with these other doggone tumors.Yes they are benign but they are tumors.

    I think this is a great idea to keep up with those who have been dx with mets.I do read where so many times the treatment is working.They go in remission.Seems more and more.This makes me very happy.I used to feel once its spread the outlook was dim for breast cancer and any other type of cancer but don't feel that way now.I am so happy for those on the Board who've
    had success with the treatment they received and are now better.

    Prayers to all of you dx with mets!!!!!!

    mets
    I joined this site because daughter was dx in May with invasive ductal stage 4 breast cancer. She is on Tamoxifen and Zometa. She has mets to bone and liver, chest wall and some skin involement. She get very tired and is really grouchy. Is this a side effect of the drugs or just having cancer?
