Is it possible to be cured?

Hi l am her+. Diagnosed injuly 2009. Diagnosed with liver mets in march 2012. In Feb my oncologist said l was doing well and see you in a year despite me mentioning l had seen my gp regularly complaining of right side muscle pain and had ultrasounds etc. The tests had revealed two spots. But were dismissed and not passed on to my oncologist. I of course questioned this. Is it cancer Doctor? My Gp assured me it would be highly unlikely and to stay intune with my body. In march after further tests it revealed it was 6cm's. Shock. Having adromycin weekly now until mid july. I had 3girls under 3 last time. My youngst was 4months. Now atleast they are more independant. My liver condition is improving and my appetite. My head oncologist remains optermistic but another told me 18mths - 3yrs if lucky. l have organised second opinons etc which should take place very soon. My girls were distressed about my hair falling out but now are doing fine.
Plodding on just wanting to be a ma at 37yrs. xo

Allielala;

I am so sorry and surprised to hear this. I was seen every 3 months by my oncologist for 6 years and only in the later years every 6 months. He was very aggressive in my treatment and in testing any symptoms I had during this period but luckily for me no mets as far. I am so sad that you are going through this at such a young age with such little children to care for and worry for as well. Do search this site for others with similar pathology (ie. er/pr status, etc.) to see what treatments they are following. It was only after I came to this site and met these strong women that I learned to be my own advocate and I hope you have the same results. My best wishes for your long term health.

Also, thank you Lani for posting your information. I agree wholeheartedly with you that I want the proof.....doubt I'll get it but it sure would be great. I also agree that the word "cure" makes me uncomfortable. I just think NED but would love to think it's forever too.
