  • Hello there Donant,

    What upsetting news for you both! But now that you know, your wife's medical team will do their very best to treat her cancer and keep her well for as long as possible. They're not just going to let the cancer advance unchecked, medical advances mean people with stage 4 breast cancer are living with it for a long time. Please pick up the phone and get some support from the team on here, or look up breast cancer now and speak to them. This is not the end. 

    Sending you both a big hug xx

     

  • Oh I am so sorry to hear your devastating news. Please ask your cancer team for some support. They should be able to signpost you to local support groups. You are still in the early days of shock, at the moment. There are lots of groups on line and social media where you can get support. You aren't in this alone xx
