Hi everyone,
I’ve recently found out that my primary breast cancer has spread to some bones in my spine, ribs and shoulder. I had a mastectomy last year followed by chemo and radiotherapy and have been on hormone therapy and target therapy. Unfortunately recent scans showed small lesions in some bones and I’m now on a different target therapy (Ribociclib). I’m finding it really hard to digest this recent diagnosis, I’m a single parent and my biggest concern is my son and who would look after him. I’m usually a really positive person but I’m finding it so hard just now to enjoy anything and to distract my mind from the fear of dying and leaving my son behind.
It would be nice to speak to anyone with a similar diagnosis or any other single parents or people facing incurable cancer. I don’t know how I’m supposed to carry on as normal knowing that it’s likely I won’t be around to see my son grow up.
