Metastatic BC in the bones

Hi LadyK26,  this really resonated with me.  I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer with bone mets two years ago.  The other night I wanted to give in.  I had stomach pain for three weeks, felt so nauseous and in pain.  Looking at the future with hospital, meds, pain etc looked bleak.  Yesterday however I felt much better.  I am normally very positive as my oncologist said that your body follows your mind.  I am determined to live for  long time and have a happy life.  I think just writing it down and ranting makes you feel better, I did.  So the grey clouds have now passed and the sun is shining again.  I do still miss the old me though.  We have a lovely forum on here called Living with incurable cancer - patients only and it is so helpful for me to chat to everyone on there.  It's not depressing as we chat about gardens, hobbies, holidays etc.  Maybe you could join our chat, you would be very welcome.

Hi LadyK26 

Here is a link Living with incurable cancer forum - patients only 

Hi thank you for reaching out I appreciate it as I am new to this forum. I am not sure exactly how it work's.   Can I phone the support line and speak with you or another volunteer with similar diagnosis as mine? Sorry this is all so new to me. 

Hi LadyK26 

The forum encourages members to respond to each other’s posts, so you get responses from people in a similar situation. Over on the living with incurable cancer forum, there are threads where people post about things other than their cancer - gardens, music etc. As a Community Champion I am a volunteer and try to make people feel welcome on the site, but we are not set up as volunteers to provide telephone support to others. The phone number below connects to our help lines where we have paid staff - nurses and information advisers - who can respond. If you are looking to speak to someone going through something similar, the Breast Cancer Now charity has a service where it tries to put people in touch with another patient in a similar circumstance. I hope this helps.
