Hi all,
I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer that had spread to a lymph node in my lung but the team belived this to be localised and proposed a series of chemo. After securing a second opinion, the lesion in the lung was removed and tested and this week my oncologist confirmed that it was indeed breast cancer so I have de novo metastatic breast cancer. Still trying to process this information but obviously was in a total state of shock and pretty devastated as until this point I had believed I could hopefully be cured, not just treated.
Please let me know if anyone has any advice on how to deal with such a diagnosis. It's so hard trying to explain it to family and friends and to reach a level of thinking that we need to live each day as it comes. Also does anyone have any advice in terms of diet or anything else that you can do alongside your treatment? You read about the Gersen Therapy and other thoughts on what to eat and what not to eat but I also feel overwhelmed by that!
It's also odd as aside from the surgery which I think I have recovered well from, I still feel very well physically so I'm going from feeling well to, I guess, knowing this may get very bad, very quickly!
Thanks for any thoughts.
