I have been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer, which has spread to my bones. I have started letrozole and ribociclib. I am also having denosumab injections every 4 weeks. I think the thing that frightens me most is the feeling that I am not in control of my future. I worry about how things will look this time next year. Will I be able to do all those things I had planned? Will I become a burden on my family? These are questions that cannot be answered. I find this hard to get my head around.
