I'm a little confused with how to reply to you as there was no option of me replying to you from your words. Hopefully you'll be able to read this. I've only been on this BCNA site for a very short time so still learning on how to use it. Yes it does come as an awful shock to get a secondary diagnosis but from experience I've found the best thing is to go with the flow and deal with you feelings as they arise. I tried to push my meltdown, down for a week and it jumped up and bit me on the bum at the worse time. There is so much help and support out there, you don't have to deal with it on your own. I've had some people say to me "so how long do you have" and after I get over the shock that they actually did say this, I really want to say "well you just watch out for that bus" that could get any one of us at any time. You do have to toughen up, so to speak. I used to be a mouse until I had my second diagnosis, six years ago in August. Not any more. Maxine, you're not on your own and I have found this site fantastic. Theres so many people that have a kind word to offer, you take care and I'm sending you big warm hugs of support. Cheers from Annette
