Good morning,
I have secondary breast cancer diagnosis 11 months ago de nova, with spread to my chest wall and lymph nodes in my axilla and lungs. There was no bone or organ involvement but as it passed the breast membrane I was classed as stage 4.
I am starting to question my diagnosis and would love to hear if anyone else has the same diagnosis as me
Hope you are all as well as you can be x
I’m so sorry to hear about your diagnosis @irishbabe79 and I hope someone here is able to share their experience with you.
There was some discussion on this thread of de novo diagnoses on this thread that you may find helpful: De novo - stories and suggestions please? - Living with secondary breast cancer / Supporting each other and sharing experiences - Breast Cancer Now forum.

Hi! 1 year ago I was diagnosed as a stage 4 patient. I had breast cancer in 2018 and in 2024 it returned to my cervical lymph nodes…thanks God, for the moment theres not organ involvment.
Hello, I wonder if it is worth getting a second opinion? I think they might call you Oligometastatic. There is a Facebook group that you might find useful call SBC Oligometastatic. I’m sorry I don’t have personal experience on this one.
