Hello
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September, but following a PET scan have just been told that it is stage 4 with lymph nodes and pelvic bone affected. I am having my first appointment with the oncologist tomorrow and was told by the consultant breast surgeon (who I now won't be seeing again) that I should try to think of all the questions I need answered.
I've made a list but wondered if anyone else in this situation of only being offered palliative care, had any suggestions of questions they wished they'd asked at the start of treatment.
Am I likely to be given a time scale prognosis or is this left deliberately vague?
I am a (normally) very fit and healthy 63 year old: I feel grateful not to have been ill when my children were children but would still love to be able to grab a little more time with my family and friends.
