Lung Mets from MBC

Hi all 

Briefly had Stage 1 in 2009 - all fine.

Fast forward to January this year, thought I had Asthma, when wallop diagnosed with Stage 4 in Lungs and Lymph nodes

On Ibrance and Letrazole, and feeling better. Refuse to look at Statistics ~ I am not one and they are all well out of date anyway

Currently in scanxiety as had 1st CT scan a month ago and waiting for results in 2 weeks ~ hoping no news is good news as when I was diagnosed they contacted me within 2 days of the scan 

  • Welcome to the forum Annigogo although I'm sorry about the diagnosis you received in January.

    I'm glad the Ibrance and Letrazole is helping you feel better - long may it continue :) And I think your approach to statistics is spot on. Most are there to provide a rough guideline - as you say you are not a statistic and every individual case is different with some going beyond the estimate given to them by their doctors.

    Many members here know how tough scanxiety can be and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support whilst you wait. If you'd like to find others that may have a similar diagnosis, then do have a go at using our 'search forum' option above as it will provide you with a list of previous discussions that you can read and if any of them resonate with you just click on the pink reply button on the bottom right hand corner of a member's post to join in.

    I hope the results bring good news when you get them in 2 weeks time Annigogo.

    Kind regards,
