Lung Metz
I don't see much on her re: metz to lungs. In 2006 I was dx w/ stage 2, 17/34 + nodes. Had bilateral mastectomies, chemo, rad. Just dx w/ multiple +nodes in axilla and chest. (Bx one on neck so painful). 5 peanut size tumors in lungs. Will start chemo again next week. Cytoxin/Taxtrene (?sp). Onc said only 20% people live more than 4 yrs (I know he is not the in in control though). Just curious about others who have had lung metz...Advice, stories, etc. My best advice recieved thus far, Keep your eyes upon the Lord, he alone is able!

Sending hugs... I was diagnosed with liver mets almost 5 years after my original stage 2 diagnosis. I've done both Cytoxan and Taxotere. It's not a walk in the park, but you'll get through. Keep up the good thoughts. Let's all prove your doc wrong!

Gentle ugs, mbmoss.....So sorry to hear of recurrence.........Keeping you in my thoughts for NED soon.........

Lung mets here too.... When I was diagnosed with mets in November, I was reminded that there are many women LIVING with advanced breast cancer.
I have times when I get down and worried.... but I was told I need to stop wasting my gift of TODAY by worrying about tomorrow. I had some rough times in the past months, but right now I am feeling well and trying hard to enjoy each day.

mbmoss - You would get more answers/responses if you also post in the stage 4 forum. Best wishes to you.

I have been living with bc for a lil over four years. I was told I had lung mets about three and a half years ago. But looking back on first scans I had tiny spots in lungs. They were so small and did not light up on petscan. So it looks ike I have had them since first dx of bc. I am now on abraxane and zometa . I have bone mets also. I feel pretty good most days just tough on chemo week. I started the year real sick and things did not look good. I trust the Lord and I claim his word BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. One day at a time and remember we are blessed. God bless.

I was just diagnosed today w/recurrence (I believe IBC). Surgeon wouldn't confirm but did say it has now spread. (I just finished 8 rounds AC/T of chemo in Feb.)
We must give this all to the Lord. Appreciate each day.We're going to get through it.
God Bless you.

I'm wondering what people are doing about shortness of breath when it comes to lung, chest metz. I've had a couple of Thorocentesis, but the fluid keeps building up it seems. I'm 1/2 thru 12 tx of Taxol/Cytoxen.
Blessings to all

It's been awhile since I last posted. 2004 right mass, 2005 left mass. No chemo or rads were given, now I'm faced with lung cancer. I'm sorry I'm a little peeved, I was nervous when the doctors told me no chemo with the BC, I have to wonder would this have happened. I never say why me, I would never wish this on someone else.

I have 4 lung mets - dont know if its 2 and 2 or 1 and 3, and dont care. I have pleural effusions too. My breathing has been ok. I walk and talk and breathe on my own. And have done for 3 and a half years. Hoping to fly to Florida for Choca's party in November. No languishing on the couch for me.
