Just been diagnosed

Hi I’m new here was told by the doctor yesterday after my ct scan I have cancer that has spread 2 spots in the back one near the kidney, don’t know yet where it started waiting for referral to hospital, really scary not sure if this is classed as stage 4 and what happens next. I’m determid it won’t beat me easier said than done though

  • Hi Christ1921 sorry to hear this.  I had breast cancer in 2013 had op, chemo and radiotherapy.  Diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in 2024.  It is in hips, pelvis, ribs, spine and skull.  I am also determined it will not beat me.  I hope you feel better when you have more information and know what treatment you are going to have.  I have a good life even though I have cancer.  I have never asked for life expectancy as the oncologist can never know for sure.  Let me know when you have your hospital referral.
