Group: Living with metastatic breast cancer | BCNA Online Network
If you find yourself feeling sad, give our helpline a call on 1800 500 258 for a one-on-one personal chat. xx
Any cancer diagnosis is like a brick to the head .... and it takes time to 'come to terms with it' ..... and a Mets diagnosis really knocks the socks off you xx But there are support groups where you can get together with others, to help support each other ...
Re your young daughter (and your other kids if under 25 for Canteen) - there are various organisations (like Canteen and Camp Quality) where they give kids (who's parent has cancer) the chance to meet up with other kids in the same boat & just have fun together - or help with counselling etc, if needed.
Your hospital Social Worker should be able to point you to any local organisations who may also be able to help too.
Your Breast Care Nurse may also be able to help you with relevant organisations, too. xx
