New Metastatic Diagnosis
Hello this is my first time posting. I am having a difficult time dealing with my recent metastatic breast cancer diagnosis from early spring this year. I had been in remission for almost 15 years and thought cancer was a thing of my past…but here I again try to find hope and encouragement from other survivors fighting this fight. I am 51 and a proud mother of four children. I was pregnant with my youngest daughter when I felt the initial lump in fall of 2010. I was formally diagnosed around 5 months later with stage 3 breast cancer. I had a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. I had been in remission since 2011 and was recently diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in spring 2025. I am terrified of navigating through this journey because of all the uncertainties. My children lost their father two years ago to a sudden heart attack. My hope is to be present as long as possible for my children. I could definitely use some words of wisdom from fellow survivors.

@hope4healing I'm so sorry to hear of this difficult road you have been traveling. I am not sure what kind of breast cancer you have, but there are very active dedicated threads you can join here devoted to specific treatments. There is a lot of knowledge here and there is hope that this is becoming more of a chronic illness than a terminal disease.
