Liver, bone and lung mets

hope1961

Hello ladies

I was originally diagnosed with Stage IIb IDC ER+ breast cancer in May 2010. Six years later I have just been diagnosed with liver,bone and lungs mets and was wondering if there are any other ladies on here with a similar diagnosis. I have just started on my 2nd cycle of Xeloda and have another six to go. I'm just looking for messages of hope and inspiration and how others are coping with this sort of metastasis.

I was diagnosed stage IV after 13 years, although it may be that the first cancer didn't come back, but that it's a whole new primary. I don't have liver or lung mets, but only bone. Xeloda has kept everything stable for, let's see, at least six months. I'm on a very light dose of Xeloda, so light that I don't have any side effects at all.

Before Xeloda, I was on Abraxane which really sent the cancer away and I was NED for over a year.

Hope you have good results too.

So sorry you are dealing with this. Hopefully you will get many replies. If you do not, perhaps repost in the Stage IV forum which gets more traffic. I know you will find both hope and inspiration

Hi Hope! I am sorry for your dx. I was originally dxed in 2004 stage IIA. Did chemo and 5 years of Aromasin. Ten years later it showed up again in my chest wall. Another mastectomy (radical, pectoral muscle remove d) no clean margins. Intensive radiation with extensive burns. One year later, lung involvement. Now on Ibrance and Faslodex. I know how frustrating this can be. I feel like most of my life revolves around breast cancer. I am probably older than you, yet I still embrace life and make it matter, for myself and family. I wish you comfort and courage and hope.
