Devastated

Hi @kats162 This is a good place to turn to. And a great place when you need to vent. I am not sure who gave you the five year timeline but they were wrong. No one knows. I met a lady who was diagnosed with stage four Mets in her bones eleven years ago. Yes she needs treatment every three weeks, but she is otherwise healthy and shows no sign of giving in. They can manage these things and our bodies are what gives us the timeline, not some medico or textbook. Breathe deeply, keep yourself occupied until chemo starts and during if you start feeling overwhelmed. Join the metastatic group here and they can give you extra support. In the meantime, I am sending big hugs your way (cause I am a hugger) xxxx All the best. Keep coming here either to watch or vent or share.
