Hello L and a warm welcome to our forum, 

I am so sorry to hear that you have found out today that your cancer has spread to your thorax. We have information on advanced breast cancer on this page which I hope will be useful to you. It's a shame your surgery has been put on hold and I hope you are given a new date for it soon. It's good though that your chemotherapy treatment will go ahead on Tuesday as planned. It must be a lot to take in for you at the moment but keep strong and rest assured we are all here for you on the forum anytime you need to talk. So many here will understand exactly how you are feeling at the moment - you have come to the right place to talk to others who have had a similar diagnosis before and I hope they will be along shortly to share their story with you. 

If you ever feel you want to talk to someone about all this, our nurses' helpline is only a free phone call away. You can ring them on 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don't hesitate to give them a call if you want to talk things through with them. 

I hope your chemotherapy session goes well on Tuesday. We'll be thinking of you and keep everything crossed that the treatment will be a success.

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
