Just saying hello at the moment.
Hi Kingsman01, very sorry that you find yourself needing to be on this website. When and if you feel like it feel free to post a bit more about yourself and what you are going through.
Wishing you all the best with whatever you are going through.

Thanks for the kind words.
My wife was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in December. It is also in her hips and spine, the prognosis given is 2 years, which we are slowly coming to terms with.
Are there any people in this group that have had the same kind of condition as my wife and survived past the 2 years?
We had one doctor tell us it can be managed for years to come and then we got told a prognosis of 2 years.
Hi Kingsman01, I am so sorry, it must be a very scary and difficult time for you both.
I looked around the website and there is a secondary breast cancer forum you could try, the link should be https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_types/breast-secondary-cancer-forum
There are also other forums that might benefit you like for people caring for a loved one - this one is under cancer experiences. There are probably one or more others under cancer experiences that you might benefit from, have a look around and see if any of them seem suitable.
If different doctors are giving you conflicting information I would go back to them and push for more information.
Wishing you both all the best x
Thanks for the information Godwilling, I've joined some other groups now on here and I am reading some really positive stories and learning different ways to look at the situation that my wife and I are in.
I'm so glad Kingsman01. There is always hope and reading the positive stories makes a huge difference. I believe that if you believe you can get through something it increases your chances and improves your quality of life.
