Secondary Breast Cancer

Hi sb248 I am so sorry to hear how much you are going through, I can see why you would be struggling to stay positive.  

It can be hard to know how any of us will be affected by our diagnosis with lots of people beating it even though they were given a poor prognosis.  The way I would keep going is by holding onto the fact that you don't know what will happen and that you could beat this or live with it for many many years so never give up because treatment has progressed so much and there is always hope.

My suggestion is that you stop trying to be positive when you are not feeling positive because it is exhausting and that can't be good for you.  My view is that the best way to start feeling better is by allowing yourself to feel what you feel and not try and hide it from people.  Talk about it with your partner and friends because when you do you'll probably find that they have been doing the same as you and trying to be positive and also feeling exhausted from the effort.

Wishing you all the best with everything.

Thank you so much Godwilling I am the sort of person that protects everyone else.  I am just waiting for another scan to get a prognosis either good or bad.  If it is bad I am going to prove them wrong!! Take care everybody and look after yourselves.
