Hi @charliegirl
You are in shock at the moment - a few things.
Consider joining the private group on here “Living With Metastatic breast Cancer”
Call the helpline at BCNA
Stay away from “Dr Google” - there are many resources that are to be trusted - starting with the BCNA website
Once you get a treatment plan from your oncologist things will settle down a bit.
Metastatic breast cancer is not the death sentence it once was - many ladies live for many years and there are lots of treatments with new ones in the pipeline via clinical trials.
Consider seeing a psychologist specialising in breast cancer - your GP should be able to give you a care plan or if you are being treated at a major cancer centre they will often have free psychologists you can see.
Have you been allocated a McGrath breast care nurse ?
They are a great support for breast cancer patients navigating the system and a great source of information and support.
Also it’s ok to cry.
And call Beyond Blue or Lifeline if you feel really down.
No one said life was fair.
I have also sent you a private message.
