Since July last year I have followed this Macmillan site as a way of coping with and researching the devastating news that my best friend, my hero my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 inoperable pancreatic cancer... It has been a tough journey that’s for sure but he is still fighting and I am so very proud of him and of my mum who has been so strong. Today at the cancer ward we had some heartbreaking news from the specialist.. however in today’s appointment it was not my dad sat beside me, it was my mum, she was told today that she has stage 3 secondary breast cancer,triple negative , it has spread to her lymph nodes and the lower portion of her lungs... is there anyone out there who can share their experience of the same diagnosis.
I don’t know what I am supposed to be feeling ... I’m just determined to appear as the tower of strength in front of my parents on a daily basis just as I have since dads diagnosis.
thank you to anyone who replies.

Hi Ben
I'm so sorry to read what a rough time your family has been going through recently.
I can't share any experience with TNBC but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. By responding to you it will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussions list where it'll be more easily seen.
I can see that you also posted this a couple of times in the main breast cancer group and I'm wondering if you've seen the replies you've had. If not clicking here and here will take you to them.
I think another group you might benefit from joining is the family and friends group which is a safe and supportive place to share your feelings and get support from others who have family or a friend living with cancer. If you think this might help you clicking on the link I've created will take you to the group.
When you have a minute, it would be great if you could pop something about your mum's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
