Hello everyone,
I am a 28 years old woman and have just been diagnosed stage 4 breast cancer this week. I have cancer in the right breast, all related limphnodes and a methastasis in one of my vertebrae. I am trying to be positive and to don't emotionally collapse for people around me. But I don't know exactly what to expect from this diagnosis as I still didn't discuss treatments in deep with the oncologist. I am quite scared because I also have two little children ( 4 and 6) and wonder for how long will I be able to look after them or stay with them. My cancer is progesterone receptive and the only thing I know till now is that my cancer can be treated but can not be cured. Other than from the cancer I am perfectly healthy and the methastatic phase looks just at the beginning. Anyone in my situation could explain me a little what treatments have been offered ? And how do you feel. Thanks a lot for your time and kidness.
