Hi Jo, I was initially diagnosed in early Feb 2015 and had a bilateral mastectomy. Like you, I didn't participate too much in the BCNA forum at the time, but have just recently found out that I have progressed to stage 4 with mets on my liver, so have reached out to this fantastic support network to help me through. Just reading some of the other members' past posts has helped me a great deal. When you are going through this, the support and advice of others that have been or going through the same thing is awesome. it certainly helps to know that you are not alone! Stay strong
