Hello new here: secondary breast cancer stage 4

Hi everyone mum of 4 girls 44 separated from husband. Secondary breast cancer stage 4 trying to find a friend it two

  • Hi Tigger81,

    A very warm welcome to the forum. I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Is this recent and is treatment/maintenance still a viable option? This must be very hard for you to cope with 4 young daughters - what ages are they and do you have any support from family members or friends? I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer and 1 of pre-cancer within a year of each other. I also lost my mum to secondary breast cancer, after a 12 year battle with primary cancer. My mum died in 1997 and I was first diagnosed 16 years ago. Fortunately diagnosis, treatment and aftercare have all  shown tremendous advancements in recent years.

    Please keep in touch and I am sure that you'll find this forum a great support on your cancer journey. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
