My name’s Nigel and I’ve joined the forum to discover as much as I can about metastasised breast cancer so that I can support a young friend as much as I can. She’s having a bad time.
Hi Nigel
There is a specific area for ladies with secondary bc, you will find them a very helpful and informative bunch. You may want to think about encouraging your friend to join too as we have all found the forums very supportive when we have felt lost and alone.
