Hello everyone, 

I was given the news on Wednesday that what was initially thought to be primary breast cancer is now secondary BC. I found a lump just over 6 weeks ago by chance, no other symptoms, and fortunately because I am a nurse in the hospital was able to be seen quite quickly. There was I thinking because there was only one axillary lymph node involved that I would be having maybe chemo then surgery, but the PET scan has has revealed some bone mets and mediastinum lymph node... . I'm presently still reeling from the diagnosis and also being told its incurable in the bones, I was offered a clinical trial but decided to go with the standard treatment and started taking Letrozole today. I just want to speak to others in the same or similar situation to me as at present feeling very scared of what's ahead. xxx
