Hi, Im new to this site but not new to cancer. I am an oncology nurse and my mother was diagnosed 21/2 years ago with stage II breast Cancer with 3 out of 13 positive nodes...ER/PR+. Took four rounds of AC then 4 rounds of Taxol, then femara. Today she was diagnosed with metastatic disease to her thoracic spine, only one lesion. Although I am an oncology nurse, it is still nice to see many other people going through these same battles.

    It's nice that your mother caught her met (singular!!) early.  Hopefully she'll be able to eliminate that little beast for good!

    I'm sorry to hear about your mom's situation.  It certainly takes awhile to get your head wrapped around it.  I find that checking in regularly helps me cope, even though I don't post all the time.  I'd certainly like to hear from someone of your perspective from time to time!
