Hi, I’m 51 too and  just been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer which has spread to lungs and 1 nodule on my breast bone. Am in a world of turmoil, can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t get my mind to stop being so negative because of the bad news I keep receiving. I had a mammogram last June which came back clear, then in November I went to the GP as found a lump in my right breast. Was diagnosed there and they said was fibroadenoma and not sent to the breast clinic. Gone from being told 1 week ago is stage 1, grade 2 surgery and chemo, to secondary breast cancer, stage 4 treatable but not curable. I’m in denial this happening to me I have no symptoms whatsoever and feel well in myself. . I’m not ready to die, I have a wonderful family to be with who need me.
