Walking call to call moving and handling I was back and forth with private physio and back in April I coughed and lump came up on my breast told private physio and she thought was pulled muscle. By mobility got worse in shoulder and back still worked went to local festivals walled and feww weeks ago told my sister about my lump and she is doctor got worried booked an appointment gp she was worried as hadn’t pointed this out as was currently on sick eith back ache before thst back spasams

Hi Cazzy,

So glad you’ve found the forum. It’s a huge shock for you all & no wonder you feel as you do. 

There is a tremendous amount to take in, but you will get your head around it in time. 

Do have a look at the ‘Living with secondary cancer’ board Here where you will be able to get advice & support from the other lovely ladies who understand what you’re going through. 

There is also the helpline above if you need to talk things through, as well as support & info for younger women. 

Sending love & hugs

Really feel for you, you must be reeling from the shock of it all.

 

I would only echo what Ann has said, to look in on the ’ living with secondary breast cancer ’ threads, because there are some fabulous ladies there who will help you, help to hold you up on the down days, and who have a wide range of experience. . . . I, as far as I know, don’t have secondaries, but I see their posts and their positiveness and humour and wisdom, and they really are the go-to ladies.

 

Sending you hugs aplenty.
