Reoccurrence

I 42 was diagnosed in 2018 with Estrogen and Progesterone positive breast cancer, Her2 negative. Back in July I was told I had pneumonia kept going back for cheat x-rays, and had a CT in July that didn't say anything about a reoccurrence. I went to the ER because I was having pain in my leg and the week before it was pain in my back. Needless, to say CT said it looks like metastatic and now I need a biopsy and CT if abdominal are and pelvic. Im very scared a d don't know what to think. If its in your bones does that means it too far gone.? Also, showed small nodules in my lungs bilateral and swollen lymph nodes in chest area. Any help . Just scared.

    @love83, we are so sorry for your worries, but please know that you're not alone, and we're here to support you. Regarding bone and lung metastases, if your breast cancer has indeed moved to these areas, there is still hope - there are many treatments available, and the type of treatment your team will recommend depends on what your specific cancer's subtypes are. We encourage you to look through the following discussion topics to see what others with lung or bone mets have experienced:

    Bone Mets discussion
    Lung Mets discussion

    We also encourage you to attend an MBC Zoom support group meetup to get firsthand support from others who're managing metastatic breast cancer.

    We're all here to help you get through this.
