2025 sucks

Diagnosed with breast cancer in April and secondary breast cancer in July. Still navigating the news and the treatment. Very scared, very emotional and unable to sleep properly due to being put in chemical menopause:would love some chat with people with similar diagnosis.

  • Hi Tamstergram,  I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It really is a huge shock and difficult to get your head around.  I had stage 3, grade 2 lobular breast cancer and in one lymph node in 2013.  Had lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and hormone therapy for 5 years.  The chemical menopause was horrendous as I was 47.  In September last year I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer with mets in pelvis, hips, spine, ribs and skull.  I am having treatment for this but luckily not that many side effects.  It does get easier as time goes on but still have bad days where it gets me down.  I am here to chat if you want to.  You are not alone.
