Scared and angry

I was diagnosed with primary breast cancer Her2 positive in March 2018. Had chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiotherapy and Herceptin injections. In September 2020 I started feeling very breathless, ended up in hospital with drains in both lungs and then pleurodesis in both of them. Secondary cancer in my rib, small area in my lungs and various spots in my chest wall.Am on weekly chemotherapy. The pleurodesis has left me with reduced lung capacity, and I feel like I am in constant discomfort. I don't have the energy to do much and sometimes feel like there is no point because my life feels so rubbish. I want to be positive but I am just really scared. The first time round I just got through it, put it to the back of my mind and carried on with life. This time there is obviously no end and I'm struggling to see a way forward. Any comments and thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you for listening.
