I'm so very sorry to hear this. What an utterly horrible position to find yourself in. It must indeed be terrifying. Anyone who reads your post will feel the same way, I'm sure.
You'll find a huge amount of personal experience and support on this site. You may easily hear from someone who has faced the shock and fright of similar unexpected news.
Also, the moderators and nurses often reply to posts like yours. Their valued comments not only contain very useful practical suggestions but also wonderful compassion and understanding from the site itself, so to speak.
You're not alone. Really, you're not. We all need help and support. That's why we're here.
I am so sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis and understand how you feel. After battling breast cancer for 12 years, my mum got a similar diagnosis, when she was told that it had spread to her liver, lungs, bone and brain. That was 28 years ago, when we didn't have the treatments available that we have today. Is treatment still an option for you?
I hope that you have the support of a friend or family member who can help you and openly discuss your fears, as talking things through really does help.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on. Please remember that we are always here for you.
