Hi!

I have a tumour that is invading my sternum -- and I can tell you it has been extremely painful at times. It comes and goes.

A big thank you to Lisa -- I had no idea how fast this could come on. I feel better knowing that someone else had such a rapid onset. I had no idea that the pain I was experiencing was from mets and neither I nor my doctor rushed to get scans done.

I guess that having gotten over the initial diagnosis and treatment looking for mets was the last thing on my mind...

I've started treatment with Taxotere and will be adding Herceptin in the New Year.

Thanks to everyone here who posts such encouraging messages.

Best wishes to all for the New Year.
