Hi Siobhan,

I am not in a situation anyways close to yours but I just wanted to say if you want to talk, I can listen. I think you are so brave for dealing with all you have and I think the best thing is to stay positive for your daughter. She will need your re-assurance. I have 2 girls, 4 and 18months and I am in the process of going for a second opinion regarding a lump in my breast. Like you, I worry so much for them.
Anyhow, I hope you are doing well and stave positive.

Siobhanc,
i am so sorry to hear that, you must be very scared, this discussion board is not great as has too few responders but the young survival colation and breastcancer.org are very good on the subject of stage 4 cancer with a lot of woman having bones mets for years and years.

just wanted to say hello and wish you well in your treatment and hopefully you will be one of the ones that goes into complete remission until a cure is found.

take care.
