Stage 4 breast cancer.

Hi, I've not long ago been diagnosed with stage four cancer I'm looking at that I can have treatment and having to targeted and one chemo. I'm a mother of two beautiful girls I have a supportive family around me.

I am just not dealing with the fact I will come to terms with what I've got. I am struggling to except it! I am struggling with just letting the treatment to work and basically not been in fear all the time!

 

There are people worse off than me I know that my cancer has gone from my breast to an egg too small to me in the head to the long and onto the leg.

 

I know once I have seen that things are getting better I'll be okay but in the meantime how do I make myself meant to be strong and ready to take this and to win it how are there people in this world that I just soldiering on and not scared and just carry on with day-to-day life!

 

Please help me help myself I need support. Any tips anything I can help with a great!

  • Hi Cookie,

     

    I'm really sorry that you're going through this horror of cancer. Please , don't feel guilty and compare your experience to others, it's totally acceptable to feel afraid and unsure, angry, lost and a million other emotions . 

     

    You go with how you feel, it's totally valid no need to feel guilty for feelings that others may have even worse.

     

    Remeber you are strong, loved and not alone.  It may seem people solider on, but really I don't think they are. Being open about how you feel...coming here, its huge and brave. 

     

    Fear is expected, the unknown, do you have someone to help you and talk when your feeling at your most afraid x  

     

     

    The love for your beautiful girls, and no doubt theirs for you. Plan some normal, as if the C isn't here, film night, walks in the park or a coffee over a zoom! It can be all consuming, it might help to write down and keep a diary with a plan for normal first get everything off your chest..2nd what is our normal today...cooking a meal etc.
