Hi, i'm 58 and in similar situation so totally understand you fear. Recent breast cancer recurrence, total right MX followed 2 MTHS later by positive biopsies on wound are most probably skin cancer. Tumours grew into my vascular/lymph system and chemo's only thing to maybe prolong my life. Already had chemo/radiotherapy on this site. Surgeon was honest and said because of speed and nature it doesn't look good and is quite rare. Covered in growths. SO 2 days later and waiting for CT scan appt/results I'm in a state of shock, terror, disbelief and anxiety Any ideas for coping except valium and gin and tonic!! Referral to counseling, 2nd opinion planned as Oxford are one of leading cancer specialists. Have great friends but no spouse or family so daunted by arranging the inevitable final stages. Thanks if you reply, I desperately need to share Ps you could ask to be referred to Royal Marsden London who may have trials. I saw a top oncologist there first time around.
