New diagnosis metastatic breast cancer
Hi, I'm all very new to this being diagnosed only 7 wks ago with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer (triple positive) which has spread to my bones. I am 51 with 2 children. I had only had my first ma...
Hi Mel, I'm also newly diagnosed and de novo with widespread bone metastasis. 😕 . It's such a shock, I just have a sore shoulder It doesn't matter how many times I tell myself I have stage 4 cancer, it isn't sinking in. Or it comes in waves of panic. Hopefully we can connect with other people through these forums so we don't feel so alone. I feel like no one is going to really understand unless they have faced the same diagnoses. Have you started treatment yet? Seen a specialist? My first appointment is in 10 days ( and counting) I have so many unknowns at this point.
Hoping you get lots of love and support and find coping mechanisms that work for you
Hi glasskat,
I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. To be diagnosed with breast cancer + mets at the same time is so incredibly overwhelming. Your whole world just stops & it's impossible to process. I am 3 wks into treatment now & do feel better. But initially it was such a long waiting game of appointments, scans & tests. After my first week of treatment, my bone pain has already gone. I'm lucky to have a great network of friends & family. I hope you are getting lots of support too. I wish you all the best with your upcoming appointments & all the best with your treatment xx
