    I am so sorry that you have this news.  I too faced this news last year and am still going strong with lung mets now nearly 18 months later.  

    There is an advanced Cancer group on here and a group of us on Facebook that chat and support each other regularly.  

    When you feel ready you may like to order the Hopes and Hurdles kit from the BCNA - it has been updated and has a lot of useful information.  

    It is absolutely devastating to recieve this news and it takes time and effort to get up again.  Be kind to yourself, allow yourself to dwell a little and take check.

    Sending you love.

    Hi Sorelle,

    A stage IV diagnosis is devasting, I too have mets (in my liver). There are so many treatments available these days and new ones coming out all of the time that women (and men) are living for many, many years. I have coffee occasionally with a lady who has had mets for 12 years and she is still going strong. Secondary cancer has been living with me for nearly 3 years and I still do everything that I used to (work fulltime, travel overseas etc).

    It will take time but the numbness, tears, fear will ease and the world will look better. We have to stay sick enough, long enough so we can be the recipients of the cure that I am sure is just around the corner. Best wishes

    Hope you receive some encouragement on this site. I was diagnosed 2 years ago with ABC with  aggressive liver and widespread bone mets and am currently doing well.

    The opportunity to get and give support to others here on this site takes some of the isolation away you can feel with Advanced Breast Cancer. I do hope more and more women with ABC will feel comfortable to share on this website.

    I do also hope more effort will be made in local communities to support and speak out about advanced breast cancer.

    Research shows those women in good support groups with advanced breast cancer survive twice as long as those who are not well supported.

    Hi Sorelle,

    I read on one of the BC sites recently Fight like a Girl, I love that slogan because it rings true, as women we have a large well of  inner strength.

    Like all the other womens responses I wish you well and know we are all behind you.

     

    cheers
