    Sending you a big hug. That’s beyond crappy and I am so sorry you have to start all this with such a massive obstacle in your way. Just remember that treatment has come a long way and you will be strong enough to do this. That massive fog of fear will begin to lift when you have a plan. Xx

    The news must be so scary. Even more to take on board, so difficult, and more waiting. 

    @ddon is right, diagnosis and treatment has come a huge way in just a few years. Keep going every day, each day at a time, you got this.  Lots of hugs xx

    unfortunately @ddon , and Tinks doctor didn't sound positive.. She said blood tests and biopsy next to see if its secondary to breast cancer, or just on its own..that will determine treatment..Thank you for the kind words, they really do help..up until scans, prognosis was great..Praying they can find a treatment plan to keep me around.. Our son is only 12..:-((..Take care, wishing you both a happy ending on your journey..

    Thinking of you. Here’s where you might even surprise yourself with your inner strength to get through these awful days of waiting and not knowing. Those of us on here know what that is like. You can do this! Hang in there. Lots of love xx Tinks.

    It's not over until it's over @Joarden I can understand how you're feeling having a child who needs you around for a good while yet, but you're still here.  As the others have said, treatment has come a long way.  Take care.

    Hi @Joarden - I am terribly sorry to hear that your cancer has spread.  I just wanted to share with you an account on instagram that you might find comfort in connecting with.  Kate is a young Australian mum living in NZ who was also diagnosed with hormone positive breast cancer that has spread to her liver... https://www.instagram.com/theholisticnutritionist/

    Joarden, I'm sending you positive, healing thoughts and prayers - and a big gentle hug. I have found that in times of heightened anxiety, mindful breathing techniques like the 4-7-8 breathing technique can help calm the nervous system pretty quickly. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324417 <3 It's weird, I know, but EFT Tapping also helps, in my experience https://www.healthline.com/health/eft-tapping#research  <3
