Hello ladies,

I was diagnosed with Mets to the lung, liver and several bones back in November. I would really like to speak with a woman with similar diagnosis, who lives locally (near baltimore or DC area). My friends & family are all very sweet & supportive, but it would be nice to know someone who actually is in the same "boat" as I am :)

Thank you for even considering reaching out.

    hi

    I live in pa about 40 min from Baltimore-in fact I go to John Hopkins in Baltimore. I feel the same way my family is great but it’s hard for anyone to understand unless you are living it. Pm me if you want to make plans to meet up.

    Hi,

    I live in the DC suburbs (Montgomery County) and also am treated up at Hopkins.

    PM and let me know where you are and maybe we can meet up -- also, if you are in Montgomery or Prince Georges County, I have a recommendation for a metastatic breast cancer discussion group that meets one time per month, if you are interested.

    I have lurking in this group for five years. I have stage 4 breast cancer which is ER +. I live in Montgomery County, MD and work in Baltimore. I would be very interested in a local group or meetings.

    if you give me some ideas on where we could meet I’d be happy to try and schedule it. I’m almost 7 years out from a stage 4 de nova diagnosis with innumerable bone mets. I was stable for 6 years on tamoxifen and recently had growth in my bone tumors and have switched to letrozale/100 mg ibrance. So far so good. Let me know preferred days,times and places and let’s see if we can get together.

    Hi Cyn, I'm sorry that you have bone mets! Hope it hasn't spread anywhere else! when is your scan scheduled for? I'm new to Mets but will gladly help however I can! Which cancer center do you work with? I go to GBMC (greater baltimore medical center) in towson.

    Hi, Proverbs312b

    Thank you for the reply. I had my CT scan last week (3/25/2020) and found bone Mets on my rib and spine. I will have PET scan next week, hope nothing else other than bone Mets. I go to Shady Grove hospital currently. I am looking for good Oncology center nearby for 2nd opinion or switch the doctor.
