It never seems to end

in Breast Cancer #1
Hi everybody I've come back after a break. I came back from a short vacation to find out that the dr is sure that the cancer may have spread to my bones in the lumbar region of my back as something showed up on my last CT scan. She originally was going to do revision surgery surgery as I still have a lot of trouble eating but when I saw her last Thursday the first thing she said was that she saw something on my lumbar vertebrea and that we'd have to put the surgery on the back burner so we could get started on treatment as quickly as possible. She has set up an appt with my oncologist, for a bone scan, an appt with the radiation oncologist and a biopsy on the mass between 2 lobes of my right lung (since I've developed a nasty cough).I feel like this is never going to end....

    So sorry that you are getting this news.
    But will keep hoping for the best possible results for you. This is a nasty ride that we are on, as someone said in an earlier post, it would be better if it was a merry-go-round rather than a roller coaster. I would rather it just be my two feet grounded with no ride, just a quite uneventful life would be nice at this point.

    Prayers and positive thoughts that maybe what she is seeing is not bone mets.

    This is not the kind of news
    This is not the kind of news you want to hear when you've just returned from a vacation. Sorry that you had to hear this but glad that your dr seems to be on top of this and is getting tests and treatment scheduled. Sounds like your surgery will have to wait for now. Just remember to breathe slowly, take it one at a time and focus on beating this. You sound like a fighter and you can win. We're here for you and you are in our prayers. Keep posting.

    I'm so sorry
    to hear what your dr suspects. The news of late has not been what we'd like to hear. Too many having setbacks with mets. Does it every end? I'm praying that all goes well.

    So very sorry, Sparky
    You've been through so much since your initial cancer. I wish you the best for your treatments.

    Is the biopsy to determine if it's mets and if it is which cancer is it? One of the things that crosses my mind now and then is if I ever have mets whether it will be breast or endometrial cancer. I asked this early on and was told they would need to do a biopsy, but I haven't asked again because I (healthily) decided not to worry about that unless there's a reason to.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hate cancer.

    vacation comeback
    After spending so many years as a workaholic as soon as I got my bc diagnosis I decided to spend some vacation time. The reason is because I wanted to make sure I saw family that had been so neglected. I have 2 granchildren in another state that I have never met. Come he!! or high water I am going to go see them before the end of August. Therefore I am glad you went on vacation while still feeling good. This is lousy news to come back to. You will be in my prayers.

    Once a co worker found out her husband had terminal cancer. I opted to donate 40 hours of my vacation time to her so she would have time with her hubby. Don't hesitate to take the time you need for such things. The bills will be there always. When you feel good run away for the weekend. Celbrate all sorts of things that you never used to. Cancer sure changes the way you look at things. Take extra good care of yourself.
