@Jano, what a shock. It's just horrible and unfortunately it does take alot to manage all of this particular these first few weeks and months.
Do you have an oncologist yet? Also hopefully you will get a breast care nurse or be able to contact a McGarth nurse. It depends if you are public or private.
Your oncologist will know how to treat your type of cancer. They will come up with a plan.
I take my husband to all my appointments along with a list of questions and a notebook. I have bones and liver too and currently one and a half yrs from finding it in the bone. While I have a different type there are many treatments and many people manage well from these.
There is a great podcast by Dr Charlotte Tottenham and sessions there for metastatic cancer. You can search for them in this forum.
You might consider counselling at some stage too. It can all be so overwhelming to begin with and it is normal to be terrified especially when there is no plan yet.
Try to keep busy. It's good you found your way here as everyone is very supportive. Join the private metastatic group too.
Stay away from Google. Lots of what is there is out of date and stats are old and don't really cater for all the new treatments.
You will have to consider whether you tell people. That's really up to you, but give yourself time to process it yourself first. There is information on the bcna website about telling family and friends.
It's one day at a time, get a little exercise if you can, eat fresh fruit and vegetables and do lots of deep breathing. It's going to be ok and you can do this.
I hope your next appointment goes well and you get a treatment plan soon. Please update us and ask any questions as nothing is tabu here. Best wishes ❤️
