Was diagnosed with breast cancer in July was given mastectomy in September one side then was given the all clear. 7 weeks later they gave me a pet scan just after was taken to hospital with covid while in hospital really Ill the oncologist came an told me they found spots on my liver an that it was cancer an that I needed a brain scan as they think it has gone to my brain I was so Ill an now in shock no one was allowed in the hospital wen I eventually got my brain scan the experience was so surreal as they had to clear the area because I had covid thankfully it was clear I am having my second different chemo as the first stuff didn’t work which is bit disappointing as now I’m thinking maybe this won’t work either not trying to be negative but I’m so scared don’t want to be miserable with the time I have left but I can’t stop crying I have another scan in 2 weeks to see if has spread an if the new chemo is working we have just spent all our savings on an immune therapy over in Germany so we are trying everything I just don’t want to die
