My wife gets diagnosed tomorrow, but she been told by letter that her cancer is metastatic.

My wife found a lump in her armpit and after a biopsy was told that it was cancerous, she had been for a full body MRI, a mammogram and a CT scan the last couple of days and we are back tomorrow yo get the diagnosis. I suppose I'm just looking for help, advice & support. Hence why I've joined this group.

  • Hello DPW

    I'm sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis. Undoubtedly it's an emotional time for you both and I hope that tomorrow's appointment brings some reassurance about the next steps. 

    I'm sure that if he saw your post he would comment anyway but I thought I'd tag in  into this message. He supported his wife through a diagnosis of breast cancer and the subsequent treatment. I'm sure that he would be happy to share his perspective on their journey with you, as he has done with many others on this forum. 

    Do let us know how you both get on at the appointment tomorrow. If there's anything you want to chat through with our nurses at any point then you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Sending you both my best wishes,

  • I am sorry to hear your news , my advice for tomorrow would be to write some questions down that you want to ask and also to write anything down that’s said . I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer last year and had double mastectomy,

    You can just be there to support your wife through this ,maybe she wants to talk about it .Be there to listen . 
    You will probably discuss treatment plans as well. 
    Let us know how you get on and maybe we can talk more once you have been told the way forward .

    Good luck xx
