Metastatic breast cancer

Hi everyone! I've been having chemo for 2 years. Doctor still trying to find me a new med. I have metastatic breast cancer IV and has gone to my bones. I seem to be going backwards since diagnosed in 2016 with just breast cancer. I get depressed more and don't like when before I had so much energy. 😔

Dear Bubba I’m so sorry to hear what a tough time you are having and am sending you a huge e hug from Dorset UK. Are you currently having weekly I v? Do you have family nearby to keep in touch with ? I had stage3 surgery and lots of chemo , and living with this challenge is certainly very hard , but I think it’s worth taking any of the chemos or treatments on offer , and doing things that give you joy , whenever possible. Thinking of you today and wish you improvement and the best of treatment available . Keep in touch ; with love Denise

Thank you Denise for reaching out. It helps, sometimes I feel like I don't want chemo, but your right if it gives us more time do it.😊

I'm sorry, cancer is such a monster. It's so hard to know what will work, how long and what next. Big hugs

I hope you are able to get a second opinion. I would suggest getting a second opinion at an National Cancer Institute certified cancer center (even if you have to travel).

There are many clinical trials at different institutions
