Hi Lisa
Welcome to our group - I am sorry that you have been diagnosed with ABC. Aren't some of these medical terms the pits? My oncologist talks about Breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast - sounds much nicer to me.
It's a real bummer but there is so much hope now that we can be treated with the consideration that this is a chronic illness. The uncertainty is difficult. For me - my story is on my blog - feel free to read it - I try to just focus on each day. It has taken me a few months to get to that point. I try to live in the moment - I have a large focus on my wellness and family. I eat a diet that I feel will help me deal with this disease, I take the medicines that I feel will help, I meditate, I love myself and my family, I believe in my ability to be well, I keep informed, I try to support others and accept all the love and support that others have to offer.
As Joy said - there are women who have been living with this disease for a long time and have a wonderful quality of life.
I look forward to sharing with you.
