how to accept the diagnosis?

I don't have any wise words for you, just wanted to come on and send you a big hug. You've been dealt the shittest of  hands. My sister had good days and bad days, and focussed a lot on making memories. Fingers crossed for the drug trial. K xox

thanks. It helps knowing i'm not the only one in this position

I can empathise with you @beatit. I've just been diagnosed with lung mets in the past week, and waiting to confirm whether it's in the bone as well.  All of this less than 12 months after my initial diagnosis. At the moment, I think my family are providing the only incentive for me to continue the fight.  Managing for me is moment by moment, and holding on to any small positives as they arise.  I sincerely hope that you can find a 'lift', but in the meantime, give yourself permission to be 'flat'

I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis @beatit - I hope that you get onto the drug trial & that it works for you.

Not having mets myself - I reckon I'd just be doing what I love doing, to keep my mind off it.   I hope you have a supportive family & friends xx

Big hugs coming your way   xxx 

No suggestions but a virtual hug.  

Hi @beatit, have you thought about joining the private group Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer on this network? https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/group/2-living-with-metastatic-breast-cancer
I am sure the people in this group can provide some advice. I am a member and have been living with MBC since 2016 (it was my first diagnosis of BC).

 thanks everyone for your encouragement, love and hugs.
thanks @RachelleRachelle, I have requested to join the MBC group.
