Dear Amy

Thank you for posting on our online community. It is such a pity that you have not heard from others yet. There are support groups around the country plus we have trained volunteers who are living with stage 4 breast cancer. If you could phone us on our support line we could discuss this further and see what you would find helpful.

Our number is 1800 200 700. We are all cancer nurses here and would very much like to support you. We are here Mon-Fri 9-5pm

Kind regards

Cancer Nurse

Hi Amy, A close family member was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer last Dec. She is keen to meet/chat with someone like herself. If this interests you, please respond and I will ask her to register on this website and contact you. Best Wishes. Maureen

Hi Amy, I see that your post is from 2022, but I too was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the end of last year following some back pain.It really was such a shock (the last thing I thought) it's been 6 months now and I'm learning to live with it. Hope you are doing okay x
