HI there, I have to agree with the positive energy. Although I do not have bone or organ involvement in 1998 I was diaganosed with a very agressive, fast moving ugly form of BC, radical mastectomy, removal of chest and pectoral muscles along with 16 out of 16 glands all positive with no clear margin and not eostrogen responsive, and I too was given 2 to 3 years at best, this phrase must be in their medical handbooks. I have had that many mets and NED's and as soon as it is confirmed to be mets I usually have a teary and then put makeup on and I also look like there is nothing wrong with me either. The positive part is that as long as there is some drug, any drug to keep me going until the tomorrows I am in for a chance. First mets I was planning my funeral again and almost cancelled my new trendy reading/sunglasses, replaced them twice since then. All of my relatives came up for a dinner party and you could have sworn the way the dining room was set us it could have passed for the last supper. Now I even forget to tell my outside family and friends that I have mets agaaaaaaaain. So the secret is to try and keep smiling, believe it or not it does get easier to accept when you tell your self that you have cancerbieties and still trying to find the right insulin dose. Hope this helps, there is always someone on here ready to offer support and it doesn';t matter how many times you may ask the same question, chances are that someone out there also needs to know.
Love & Hugs Lyn
