New to the group

Hi @roby24,please go over to living with metastatic cancer group and join,we are a nice bunch and will help you as much as we can,I was diagnosed nearly 5 years ago with liver and bone mets, so am a little bit further on than you, your oncologist has you on a treatment plan, now you have to try and adjust your day to day life around this, I too live in the country and there is no metastatic support group for myself and the other 2 women who are metastatic, I still go along to the early support group as the women are amazing and the focus of our afternoon is not all about breast cancer, initially I felt the odd one out and at one point stopped going as I felt that I reminded the women of what could happen, however they told me off and now I go when I can, as a country girl you will be able to access a McGrath Breast Care nurse, go to the McGrath site and put in your area and hopefully something will come up, please ring and get you hope and hurdles kit sent out to you, the 1800 is on the homepage, there are a lot of resources available so please just ask away,as far as the CA count is concerned, that is just a tool that the oncologist uses, and yes you are right the scans tell the true picture, its tough waiting for scans then its even tougher waiting for the results, we call it scananxiety, on the homepage there is is special area dedicated to metastatic breast cancer and I am sure that this may be able to answers some of your questions,if you have any concerns on anything please dont hesitate to ring the bcna helpline they have dedicated cancer nurses to talk you through everything,
