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

    The fast lane is right. How did you find out about new drugs? Although I've been given a list of what I'm having and when I know nothing about them nor any other drug. I'm also confused by cycles. Some are weekly, 2weekly, monthly. It seems a minefield out there.

    I'm sure I'll become clued up on these things. It's all quite terrifying.

    Thanks for your response.
