Secondary Breast Cancer

New to this community.

I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer to various bones.

Just under 2 years ago.

Previously had breast cancer and got 6months after all my treatment finished then it spread.

Also suffer from Lupus and other health issues.

I will not list them all here.

Looking for some support.

Doreen.

Dear Doreen,

Welcome to the community! I am so sorry to hear about your diagnoses of the past and present. It is good to hear that you are looking for support. Whether it is after first diagnosis or in the course of having cancer and other health concerns, it can be difficult to know where to turn.

May I ask what type of support you are looking for? What would you like to hear or learn, either from the Marie Curie team and/or from other users of this community forum?

If you are happy to provide a bit more detail on how you hope to find support, please feel free to respond to this message at any time. You are also welcome to call the Marie Curie support line for free on 0800 090 2309.

Take good care,

Hi Doreen,

How are you?

I know Anke who is one of our volunteers responded to you a couple of weeks ago but I just thought I would add to that and check in to see how you are doing.

It sounds as though you are going through a very challenging time.

Please know we are here to support you.

Warm wishes,

Doreen.
