Stage 4 breast cancer

Barbm
Offline

I was recently diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer and referred for a staging scan. It showed that the cancer has spread to both lungs and liver. I'm devastated. My family is devastated and I don't know how to carry on. I can't start chemo for another month so I feel that I'm sitting waiting to die. I'm not ready to die though. I'm only 51 and have so much more to live for.

    Hi Lorraine

    Yes I will mention fasting and other herbal remedies that I've heard can help. I understand that sometimes supplements and alternative therapies can certainly stop chemo working. I've got a telephone appointment on Wednesday with my oncologist regarding the side effects of chemo so can discuss it further with him.

    Thanks for your concern/advice. I'm new to this and in a bit of a panic.
