Hi
my mum has been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer which at the moment is been treated with monthly chemo type injections but is incurable.
does anyone have any advice on how to navigate this, as I find the uncertainty of it all very difficult. Each scan is nerve wracking in case anything has changed, if the treatment isn't working etc and she has started to have more pain.
has anyone had 'therapy' that's helped them work through it etc
thank you
