Has anyone got experience of this?

Are suvival chances slimmer the more times you get it?

Horseshoe, I went through this with my mother but it was 11 years ago and I fervently hope that things have got better since then. Are you facing this yourself?

Hi Horseshoe, sorry to hear this. I don't know the answers and I think there are many variables which would need to be taken into account, my mum has just been diagnosed for the first time and I have found the breakthrough site good here . They also have a 24hr helpline number which might be able to answer any questions that you (or if it isn't your diagnoses) or anyone else might have. Good luck.

Horseshoe - no experience but sorry to see this post. Hoping it is not you but guessing it must be someone close to you.

Hi,

No not me but my Mum. Wish it was me and I could take it all away from her.
She's been in remmision for 3 years and now new lumps appearing. Still isn't confirmed but not holding out much hope. Strange I'm not normally so negative but just got a bad feeling about it this time.

Horseshoe, the Breast Cancer Care site is very good. There is a phone a nurse which you can use and the ladies on the chat rooms are very informative - they would really help with any questions and worries that you have.

Know exactly what you mean when you say it you wish it were you.

Take carexxxxxxxx
