Hi,
I'm new to the forums and would love to connect with people in a similar situation.
I'm a 42 year old mum of 2 little people (5 and 7) and have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and metastatic cancer in my bones. I was diagnosed after a trip to A&E with back pain so it has all been a massive shock and has completely pulled my life out from under me.
My cancer is hormone receptive and so I have started taking medication which has blocked my oestrogen production. I am also due to start ribociclib this week and will be given a bone strengthening drug every 3 months.
Anyone who is in a similar situation and has managed to get back to some kind of 'normal' life? I used to be such an active person but I am now struggling with back pain and am going through a forced menopause, both of which are making me feel flat and exhausted. Is there anyone out there who has any positive experiences that will help me see a light at the end of the tunnel?
