Sorry I seem to have posted badly Doctor was offended because with really bad cancer I do not have pain. Only started with pain last Friday night so just taking it easy. Probably another tumor within breast as it is growing so rapidly & texture has changed. Have had really good run & if on downhill run now it's OK. Specialist thought 3 to 6 months left.

Thanks Felicity but I am not in heaps of pain & that seemed to offend the Doctor that I could have such a bad cancer from diagnosis 15 months ago Stage 3 lymph fully involved & no real pain. Pain just started last Friday night think part inside breast & part because the breast has got so BIG & still growing pulling on everything. Thanks & take care 😊

My Doctor is furious at the wording but I only got to see the govt Doctor's report 10 days after & can't stop laughing. Marie's situation is challenging. She has what has remained a stubbornly localised high risk, high grade breast Cancer tumor for over 12 months now (actually over 14 months since diagnosis) & is essentially asymptomatic. I always thought localised meant had not spread. I definitely have lymph node that was 100% cancer cells when diagnosed. Naughty naughty me. My Doctor said what does he want you lying on a trolley screaming in pain. Sorry because I know so many of you do have very painful terrible experience & having refused surgery seems to add to my sins. Am starting the hard road now & my Breast Cancer Specialist says 3 to 6 months. Apparently my breast growing 2 inches in circumference since April means nothing to this Gov 😡😡

Saw my Breast Cancer Specialist today & he said I looked the best since started over a year ago. Showed off my free breast enlargement 🤣🤣 In 2 months breast has has really grown got another lump under breast by nipple & lots orange peel. It shows much bigger even in clothes. Will need it's own postcode soon. He says now 3 to 6 months until really bad nice way of saying dying & if I do end up with needing kidney dialysis in a few months things will be much worse & if don't have dialysis downhill very quickly. Feel relieved he has agreed with my inner thoughts. We agreed I keep trying to enjoy life.

Hello Log Cabin Cat share your dream of just getting away but want to be near water. How are you going now 🤔 Was going through that Stage 4 & donkey Palliative Care Dr nurses are wonderful only just started told me haven't got enough pain yet because my hip & back pain is worse 🤬🤬🤬.

My Doctor wanted telehealth today regarding latest blood tests when normally they just text you to make appointment so knew it was going to be bad news. My kidneys have gone downhill even more & will be on dialysis within 2 months. My breast is growing at an alarming rate but Doctor says will probably be heart that takes me out first. Have been struggling to get my affairs in order because of exhaustion. For the good times.

Glenn that's a tough blow. You are great to be thinking of your loved ones & creating good memories for them. Thing am doing for myself is all my favourite photos in Google now linked to my TV so can see all photos have taken of nature. Take care 🪷🪷

Thank you so much SB & Lampworks for sharing. I felt so alone before & it's great to know that others make decisions about quality of life. Actually replied earlier & my fumbly fingers went stupid & it disappeared. At 79 think am ready to go as my body hasn't been healing the past few years. Take care. Tired out now & can't think. Hell nearly lost it again.

I also refused treatment. Read your post & you have been through a lot. Hope life is getting easier & more peaceful. I was diagnosed breast Cancer over a year ago stage 3 with lymph node fully involved. Current Doctor told me no need to see Specialist he would refer to hospital simple lumpectomy & would get all the support I needed. Went & got mastectomy bras etc & organised home to be left handed. Insisted on seeing my Breast Cancer Specialist as he knows me & had done parathyroid tumour. He gave referral to hospital saying frail aged would need longer stay after op & rehab until could manage at home. Hah hospital at first wanted to send me home 2nd day. Help with drains a few times a week but would have to give up home care. Tried ways it just didn't work. Quality of life has always been important & now knew could not manage by myself physically or mentally. A year later still here but breast spreading & will be Fungating. Feeling alone with it but determined to enjoy as much life as I can whilst sorting house, paperwork 😥 & going out on my mobility scooter. Probably end of year will be it.
