Hi
Has anyone on here been diagnosed with Metaplastic breast cancer? I’ve just had an update on my biopsy results. They originally thought I had sarcoma but have now discovered it’s actually not. I will need chemo to start with but wanted to know other people’s experiences
it is localised but am worried it’s elsewhere and they haven’t found it. I’m a single mum to a 2 year old so it’s not going to be easy
thanks
That was my daughter's diagnosis 20 months ago, Penguin80. I'm sorry you find yourself in the same place. It's been a tough road but she's getting there. 8 chemo cycles were followed with surgery, 15 days of radiotherapy then a further 14 chemos. She has two left to go now. It's been brutal and there have been very low times - but she has managed to continue to work most of the time and we've managed to do some very nice things and treat ourselves on days she's feeling really well.
You'll get through this. Take it a day at a time. Don't think about 'what if's?' for the future, just concentrate on today. I hope you have family and friends to support you - accept any offers of help. Sending you love, strength and a big hug. xx
