I had breast cancer diagnosed in 2007 along with unrelated lung cancer. Bilateral mastectomies, chemo and radiation then upper left lung removed. Started oral chemo on Afinitor and exemestane shortly thereafter. Have had gamma radiation times three for liver mets and currently have three new tumors in my liver. Will have a PET scan and liver biopsy then regroup with oncologist.
I am married to an amazingly supportive man and we have two daughters (28 and 25). I am a retired RN. It’s been a rough road, as many of you know, with side effects, new and strange allergies to meds, the occasional hospitalization and life style changes all mixed with being grateful for still being vertical and having family and friends who hang in there and keep the smiles coming.
I’m new to this site so am looking forward to gaining new ideas and hearing your stories…..
