Secondary Breast Cancer

Hi Luppie 

Hello Doreen, good to see you here, there are lovely people in this group, as you've just found out. I was a nurse myself but have recently had my letter informing me I will be granted ill health retirement. I feel that stage 4 cancer forced my hand. It didn't make sense to be looking after people that may be fitter than myself. 

I hope you find some good pals here, the daily chit chat is always a laugh and a bit tongue in cheek.

Having to retire is very hard.

I had to retire years ago due to all the complications with Lupus.

You need to take care of yourself now.

Hello Luppie, A warm but belated welcome from me. I'm glad you have a furry friend to talk to and now you have all of us too - so let it all out on here whenever you feel the need. Rest assured, we will understand. Find your way around and get to know us all. Hugs from Rainie x

Thank you for warm welcome.

Hi Doreen, I have seen you on some of the other forums. I am similar in that I found I had a met in my liver just before finishing chemo for my primary cancer last autumn, in my case TNBC. I hope you can remain stable and side effect free on your tablets. Try to ‘park’ it as much as you can. It’s much better to focus on what you can do today rather than worry about what might happen tomorrow. 

Most days I can Park it but not so easy on other days.

Doreen.
