I am a 29 year old mom with mets and was just wondering if there is anyone else in my shoes?
I would love someone to talk to and actually relate to.
Jessica

Hi, Jessica. Welcome, although sorry it's under these circumstances. I don't have mets, but my mom does. We've been dealing with hers for the past five years. I'm Stage II, diagnosed this year. In addition to this website, there is another great site for young women with bc, and there is a mets section over there. The site is www.youngsurvival.org. Hugs, and I'm sure more girls will be along to talk to you soon.
Dx June 2007, age 38, Stage IIa 2.7 cm pleomorphic ILC, ER+/PR+ HER2-, CAFx6, rads, tamox

My daughter, Monica, was dx in Jan 2005 (aged 24) with st 2 bc. She had a double mastectomy, 4 x AC, taxotere and 25 rads. All went well for most of 2006 but the cancer markers started to rise towards the end of the year - meds to liver and spine. This year she was on Navelbine and Zometa. Last scans showed progression of 4 spots on liver - bone mets stable. She will start another chemo soon. We stay in South Africa and I am trying to find out if clinical trials are available here and if she will qualify. |

I am the same age as you, 29 with mets to the bones and lung. I was diagnosed 6 months ago at age 28. I have stable disease now, and am currently on monthly Zometa, weekly herceptin, and daily Aromasin (I had a mastectomy and hysterectomy on Oct. 25th) I have reasonable quality of life, fatigued from treatment and still recovering from surgery, but I hope to keep on living for a LONG long time, even though it as a slower pace than before. Good luck to you and feel free to pm me if you would like to chat more. My picture is me and my husband and 21 month old son.

Hi Jessica, When I was diagnosed with mets in 3/07, I thought I was so young (am 38). I did not realize ladies way younger than me are suffering from BC until I came to this site. I have a seven year old son and just enjoying every moment I have with him. Hugs, Maria Dx 3/07, IDC, Stage IV, Bone Mets, ER+PR+HER2-

Hi guys, I am 37 and have a brain tumour and mets in my meninges (spinal column). It's a bummer, but what do you do? You have to fight it. We are lucky that we are going through this now, and not 20 years ago. My friend here had mets in her lungs and had to endure 18 months of one week on, one week off chemo, but now the lesions have gone!! She just has scar tissue. So, hang in there guys. All is not lost. We will all be OK. Terrified, but OK! |

Shana.. you are not alone with your fears... remember that you are not a statistic, there are people out there who defy the statistics, who defy their doctor's prognosis, miracles happen... it is hard I know, there will be days when it feels so overwhelming and days where you can take it on and rise above and will feel inner strength.. it is a rollercoaster ride, and I am not sure i will ever accept that I just may die young, but I am endeavouring to live with the knowledge, there aint no book of how to's and we are all different, yet we all just want to be happy and live a long life don't we?
