I am now post mastectomy 8 weeks. I went for what I thought was assessment for radiotherapy was told they couldn't start as I hadn't had a bone scan .also my surgeon hadn't started me on oestragen blocking meds , the care I have had has been very disjointed

So sorry that chemo is not working for you Oakville. Hopefully the radiotherapy should be effective. All best wishes for your treatment.

@Helen67 How are you doing? Did you get your picc line or did it get postponed with this coronavirus madness?

I am so sorry if this virus has interrupted treatment. It should not because cancer patients are just as much a priority. It is a nightmare. Good luck to you all who are having treatment I hope all works out well for you.

I’m very anxious - I have a bone scan tomorrow. It all started with a lump under my armpit which turned out to be breast cancer then the CT showed a primary cancer in the lung which broke through to my brain for which I have had surgery and now receiving x10 radiology before the chemotherapy starts. I found out today a work colleague has stage 4 lung cancer is unlikely to see the yr out. Haven’t stopped crying since - especially every time i look at my 15 year old..
