My mum has bern diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer

Hi, my mum has just been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, it has spread to her lungs after 22 years. What are the expectations? The consultant informed over over the phone today be it was only a 4 minute call and we have to wait for the breast cancer team to call next week. I have an 11 year old daughter who is very close to my Mum and I just dont know what to do or say as I am on my own. Any help, advise or if anyone else has been through this, I'd really appreciate if you could share your experiences. 

  • Hi I am sorry to hear about your mum.Have they offered any trestment?I have breast cancer recurrence with lungs involved.I was diagnosed last year end of May so it will be 1 year.I am on weekly chemo since then with breaks every 3 months and doing well.My lung nodules keep shrinking and also the lump in my breast nearly dissapeared.

    Nobody can give you exact timeline or prognosis.I have never asked for a prognosis because everybodys cancer is different and reacts different to treatment and also I believe in miracle.I know might sound stupid.

    I hope I gave you some positivity I know its hard
