Hi I am clare, I am 48 and I have secondary metastatic breast cancer it is in my bones, lung, pelvis and abdomen I was diagnosed in 2018 after being 12 years clear!! I have a amazing supportive husband and family but just lately I have been struggling to cope with my emotions.
I have been in hospital a lot this year due to infections I am writing this in hospital at the moment as I cant eat!!! Every time I eat I am sick. Lots of tests being done, feeling very low at the moment. Sorry for long post!!!
Hi Clare and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read how much you've been going through, especially this last year, and I can understand why you'd be feeling really low at the moment.
Have you spoken to your GP or hospital team about how you're feeling as they have a duty of care to look after you both physically and emotionally?
You might not be aware that Macmillan have teamed up with Bupa to offer up to 6 free counselling sessions for people who are struggling emotionally because they are living with cancer. If you'd like more information about this clicking here will take you to it.
Sending a big (((hug))) and I hope you're out of hospital and back home soon.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
