  • Hellio Aurora I’m very sorry you are going through this again but without your husband to support you this time which must be very hard.  Do you have family or friends nearby you can turn to?  
    Treatments have moved on so much in the last 10 years since you were first diagnosed and people can now live good lives for many years, more like a chronic condition. 
    There is a secondary breast cancer group on this site you can join in addition to this group where you should find more people in a similar situation to you.
    If you want to chat to someone there’s also the Macmillan helpline and the Breast Cancer Now helpline who offer emotional support and their nurses are also able to help with diagnosis and treatment queries too.  You can also ask to join their telephone buddy service (which I use).  Its really good to chat to someone who understands! 

    Best wishes xx
