Hi Sam
I'm sorry to read if your separation. I hope you have support still and that contact with your boys are positive.
The increase in tumour markers is worrying but you sound like you are in a good place and there are options there for you. Let us know what happens please.

Sam,
wow you have some big changes - hope you are enjoying life on the coast as much as you can living with this. How are your sons? Hope you are in contact as I remember there were issues with one a couple of years ago. Life dishes out difficult stuff and somehow we have to control it the best way we can.

Hi Sam,
Lovely to hear from you. I hope the Onc comes up with new meds to counteract the rise in markers. I'm sorry about your marriage split, I hope you're in a good place under the circumstances. :hugs:

Well hell o again every one. It will be 3 Years since bone mets dx, and 9 since first bc dx. I am ok.

Haha! Reading back my last post on here! I am now separated. Living here at the coast. Markers have recently doubled. So I know the Onc is finally going to offer afinitor....... Mmmmmm opinions? Stil using MCO DAILY. Still managing 7 pain down to a 2 -4. No other pain killers. Onc will want me to have scans I spose as the markers have doubled and also, looking at my bloods, there might be issues with my liver for the first time :wave: :wave:

Tigger,
You certainly have so much to be angry about. I really hope you can get through the anger and find some peace and happiness. :hugs:

Sounds like life is treating you well even with the shadow of mets hanging over you. Every year is a triumph and great news that you don't have any organ involvement. I understand your choice to go for the anti-d's. I am seriously considering it - mainly because I am angry all the time rather than actually depressed. I am still angry with my daughter for how she treated me and whenever I have contact with my husband (we are separated) I end up angry with him beyond any reason.

I love the picture you draw with your words of the sand and surf and good family times :hugs: :D

omg that year has gone sooo fast Sam. It doesn't seem like a year since that bad news came through.

You sound much better and seem to have got life under control and having a closer relationship with DH is great. Hope you really enjoy this summer being close to the surf. :hugs:

One year on since ABC Dx

Postby horselover » Fri Sep 04, 2015 9:08 pm

Hi all you beautiful girls- Thought I would post as it has been a year since we found my mets. I am going ok, up and down, but generally happy to be alive! Two more on my spine, but so far no organs involved. I have become a vegetarian ( most of the time), and enjoying living at the coast, visiting my boys and grandson. My DH and I seem to get closer every day - I fear leaving them here without me the most. That is my biggest fear- I don't think I am even scared of dying per se, just of how the family will handle it. Anyway I hope you are all travelling as good as can be expected and enjoying life as it is for us as much as possible. Much love to one and all. :grouphug: :grouphug: Oh dear now I have written this I feel all sad :(.......... Life is so up and down isn't it? I have had to relent and go on a mild anti D as I couldn't control my crying and anxiety, but it seems to be ok now :) I am still not choosing to have chemo and am still very comfy with that choice, as are the family. any way love to all once again :grouphug: :grouphug:
