I've been strong that's what everyone says, but I'm so scared.

I had a mastectomy in 2018 followed by chemo radio in 2019 purely preventative ...but then it came back spread in 2020. I was told terminal. 4-5 yrs 

I'm so alone...my husband left during chemo, my son's are at uni. 

  • Hi Celtic lioness, so sorry to hear you have cancer but here you are not alone.  I am not sure if you would get more relevant support from a secondary cancer page but you are welcome here, we all know how scared feels.  Love from Ann

  • I’m so sorry you have been given this diagnosis. I can’t imagine how you must be feeling right now . I just wanted to send you a massive hug .You have been through such tough time already . Have you got any other family nearby who could offer support ?

    Thank you Hugging My parents live close but are in their seventies and not the best of health. They have been very supportive. I have just had a bit of a wobble, it can't be changed. Thank you for listening x

  • You’re definitely allowed a wobble. There’s always someone on here to lend an ear or offer support, although I know it’s not the same as having someone close. X

  • I’m so sorry you’ve had this dreadful experience and then this awful outcome. Sometimes you just want to rage at the unfairness of it all. I understand why you feel so alone. Do you have a good friend around you? Are you close to your sons? I’m alone with my daughter too, she’s 12, it is hard work doing it all without a partner xx
