Hi, what a horrible shock, it’s a lot to take in. Welcome, appreciate you’d rather not be here but hopefully you can get a place to vent and get support here x
If you need support, sometimes you have to tell those around you exactly what you need. Many people, even those close to us l, don’t know what to say or do and, for fear of saying or-l doing the wrong thing just (as you say) pretend it’s not happening. I wish you well. It’s tough but we’re all here when you want to vent, to ask questions or even just talk about something else.
I have a husband and 13 yr old son. I try to keep my emotions in tell everyone im ok but sometimes it gets hard living that act. I’m exhausted with it. Thank you for your kind words x
Hi Sarah741. I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It is such a shock to hear and stage 4 is even harder. What treatment are you going to have after mastectomy. Where are your secondaries? I have stage 4 lobular breast cancer and have secondaries in pelvis, spine, ribs and skull. I am on Exemastane, Ribociclib and Denosumab injections. I still have a 'normal' life and go walking and shopping , pubs etc. I am on tramadol for the pain and sometimes morphine. I hope you are okay and reaching out here is the best thing you can do. There is a forum on here for secondary breast cancer. Not as active as this one. I am here if you need to chat. Big hugs.
