I had diagnosis 24/12/25 of secondary breast cancer in the Right humerous and left hip, have had scan after scan lots of meetings and now only seeing the Oncologist next week 1st May told by breast surgeon that I'll be having Radiotherapy and discussion about systemic treatment, feeling really apprehensive and quite short tempered feel sorry for my hubbie who is trying to be understanding but I keep feeling quite on edge
Has anyone felt like this

Hi Babs2k
I got a surprise upgrade to stage 4 in August 2022 when I had a CT scan for another reason. Delivered as a bit of an “oh and by the way “ over the phone by a registrar. From there on I had a failed ablation (liver mets) and various biopsies and tests and it was not until May 33 that I got further systemic treatment. It felt like a lot of faffing around at the time and I didn’t wonder why it wasn’t possible to do some of the testing in parallel rather than it being a long drown out process. So yes, frustrated, grumpy and probably taking it out on others.
It settled for me and I hope it does for you too.
