Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer

Oh Mags, I couldn’t pass by without a reply. I’m very early into my Stage 4 diagnosis - I was only diagnosed about 5 weeks ago - but can totally relate to the crying! I honestly don’t think I’ll ever stop and feel like no one can truly appreciate the enormity of my diagnosis. 

Have you had a look at the Secondary Breast cancer forum? It’s pretty quiet but I’m sure there will be plenty of support there.

Hi Mags, I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer de novo in December 2023, so been on this path for 2 years. I'm on Ribioclib & letrozole and have been stable since thankfully. The uncertainty of stage 4 is unbelievably hard but I do know the drugs are getting better, and people are living better and longer. It still feels very surreal and emotional at times. Would love to hear from people living with cancer.

Hi Mags22

im on the same treatment as you although I’ve only started august this year. I haven’t had any problems with the treatment but do have some days feeling low it’s great to hear you have been on this treatment for 4 years that’s a win and we all deserve to cry now and then it’s a tough thing we are going through 

take care
