Hi all,

new here and cross posting a bit. My wife was diagnosed with MBC in august. She’s on rocicib (sp) and letrezole  which seem to be working as we just got a good report. Following in same appoiment by onco saying prognosis was 5-6 years. Such a shock. I’m si scared. We’ve been together since 1980. She is my life. 

I am in the US but a British friend recommended MacMillan. Lovely place!

I definitely need help!  Much love. Ann

  • Hi AnnW

    Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that your wife has been diagnosed with MBC.  It's perfectly understandable that you are feeling scared of losing her particularly has you've been together for so long.  There's plenty of support available for people in your situation.  If you have a cancer centre near you why not pop into them or ring them to get additional support for you both.

    Wishing you both the best of luck for the future.

    Best wishes

  • Hi Ann. I’m sorry to hear your wife’s prognosis. I’ve recovered from early stage breast cancer recently but my sister was diagnosed with MBC in 2014 and she’s still going strong. Hopefully this will give you some comfort. Take care x
