Thank you all so much for replying,I hope I did'nt offend or upset anyone too much with this but I just had'nt come across this happening at such speed before. I have quite a few friends who are stage iv and doing well but this has shocked me to the core. It makes me wonder again about the lack of scan's in follow up care for early stage bc. My onc does'nt do them without symptoms and neither did Darra's. Steph there was no spread anywhere else, just her liver. Brenda, it does sound like it was quite advanced, we were both on six monthly check ups now as almost three years out. Darra played and coached tennis and was so incredibly healthy it was text book..never smoked or drank and exercised and ate well.
Maybe I was just getting a little complacant with exactly how fearsome this disease can be, thinking about it I suppose it was a blessing for her that it did happen fast.
I really appreciate all your kind words and sympathy, and from here on I think I'll be turning into the patient from hell when I see my onc!
