Hi Ellamarie, so sorry to hear your news. Im in a similar situation - just diagnosed a month ago and on my second round of Xeloda. I guess I always expected it to come back, as this is my third visit of the BC.

Friends have been super supportive. Ive been working hard on my fitness level, exercising most days and that certainly helps. Friends are offerring to exercise with me so that helps a lot.
Despite the seriousness of the situation i take hope from people who have survived 10 plus years. And the treatment so far is reasonable. I just hope it works.
Ive been put on Xeloda. What is your treatment?
be kind to yourself.
