New to the Team- not exactly happy about it

Hi, I’m so sorry you feel so lost but you’re not alone. I was diagnosed just after Xmas. I went for my 3 year post lumpectomy checkup (I was  told after the op it was very successful and no lymph node involvement) you’re one of the lucky ones, go live your life! 3 years later metastatic breast cancer in lungs and bones! They found out by accident looking for something else to do with surgical site being sore, ordered cat scan and found cancer in my lungs!

it’s been a shock but what can you do? I’m glad I found this site though. Lots of people with great advice, compassion and reassurance.  My advice to you is keep reaching out, keep getting as much info as you can from reputable sites, try and remember there are new drugs being worked on now for the near future which are even better than the ones we have now. 

I hope you have a good support around you. Try to keep yourself busy and remember although Metastatic cancer is a big part of your life now, it doesn’t define you.

Sending virtual hugs your way 🤗

ps so funny! I did exactly the same thing! Got rid of heaps of clutter, clothes, paper work etc… got my photos in photo albums, I even started contacting people I hadn’t seen or heard from in years! Believe me, it’s all part of the process x
