Hi everyone.  I am trying to get on an advanced or mets breast cancer blog site.  I am no IT expert .  I come from queenlands and this site looks like it is a western sydney site.  Can I be on this site or it is specifically for you guys.  I am not sure where else to go to get something closer to home.  Would appreciate any help.  Many thanks,

 

Donna

Went and seen my oncologist today and my tumor markers- CA 15-3 have increased by 17 points, after previously going down 37 points. Should i be concerned that this may indicate its spreading? Pam

Hi Everyone,

I have just joined the group and wanted to introduce myself.

Im 56 years of age and was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer (bone metastises) in November 2011. Previous to this i was diagnosed with two lots of different breast cancer and treatment consisted of a double masectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormonal therapy tablets.

I am still learning how to deal and cope with the diagnosis of "Secondary Breast Cancer" which is why i have joined this group to meet and talk with people who are in a similar situation.

Hi, everyone just introducing myself. I have created this group for the benefit of women in the western Sydney area. I have advanced breast cancer and  have mets down my spine, ribs, hip even one in my right toe and one on the top of my head. My ribs are painful sometimes when I take a deep breath in or lie on something hard. But I cope with it and its really not that bad. My last scan showed that I was "stable"… . I wasn't going to do the whole "This is my story thing" on here ... .
