Hi Sandra , sorry , I am not new to this but it has been awhile . I have MBC diagnosis 1 year ago . It metastasized to my bones , I went from stage 2 breast cancer to MBC:( . Anyway I have been on verzenio 1 year and my CA 3-15 are very low 15 and pet scans show it in ribs in front and back , I’ve had 3 since diagnosis, no progression but no less . Now yesterday I was laying on the floor and rolled over and felt a small bump on my back rib area , I’m scared I never felt a bump or tumor before . I have a pet scan in the morning by coincidence right when I feel this lump . Have you ever felt a lump that went away with treatment ? Thankyou for responding

Yes, definitely lonely 😞. You are so knowledgeable and I learned from you and yes I am staying active on here . Well you definitely have soft hugs 🤗 coming your way from me and I’m told my hugs are the best bringing comfort to many . This is so hard , I cry upon waking and going to sleep every night and right now as I write . I hope I get stronger at some point . I doubt it as we get worse as time goes on :(

Hi Stacy I have tumours in lungs and also in bone. I understand how you feel, I feel like that sometimes but also most of the time I just think this cancer is there and have this fight whether I am depressed or positive. I just try and enjoy life and focus on what I can do, of course at times I do worry but not often. I am pleased to be able to go back to beaver scouts they give me a real lift and do open the book where we go to primary schools and act out stories out of bible we have such a laugh. I wish you all the best, take care sending you lots of hugs xx

Yes, I had a lump on my rib and it got bigger every day. Then I started taking Letrozole and Ibrance and within days it was gone. Good luck with your treatments and best wishes for a happy holiday season.
