The final diagnose came in and it's not good. The breast cancer has spread to her bones. She is going for treatment to slow the process and prolong life but it isn't good. It's in her femur, skull (top of head) & one vertebra. She was in remission for 15 years.

It's just so sad when so much good has been happening. Even though she isn't my MIL, I am closer to her than my MIL. So sweet and caring and funny. Our son was the first grandchild. Her son is seriously dating and DH's brother just got engaged. There is so much happiness to come. I hate to think she will miss the weddings and more grandchildren.

Please give her strength!

That's terrible news! I'm so sorry.

I know of a woman who staved off metastatic breast to bone cancer for years--she may even still be alive--so it CAN be done. I hope something can be done so the happy times can continue a bit longer!

Funny thing about cancer if you can call it that, once you have cancer you just never know if or when it will come back. That's why I never say I am cured of cancer, I just say I am cancer free...for now anyway. I pray every night that it never attacks me again. I hope she will get past this.

Thanks so much. Here is what her email said today:
Basically, the cancer has come back after 15 years. It is in the bone(skull, upper rt leg, and spot on skull), liver(one spot), and 1 lymph node that they know of. I had more tests on Tues and will meet with dr again tomorrow. I will need chemo. Surgery not in plan. We will know more about treatment plan tomorrow. Needless to day we are both very sad and overwhelmed by all this. Please keep me in your loving thoughts.
