Fuck it all, my cancer has spread

Hoping someone is out there similarly unable to sleep.

I had breast cancer in 2014, found out it had spread to my bones last October & now (yesterday) was told I have small tumours in both lung and liver.

I'm waiting to find out what my options are but the stupid thing is that I feel COMPLETELY FINE.

My oncologist has been trying to give me some positives, but it all seems completely bloody hopeless tbh. My DH & I celebrated 10yrs of marriage this year and my darling DC are just 6 and 9

Not sure what I'm asking here more than a hand hold tbh. I'm exhausted but I can't sleep.

Hi elporto I'm really sorry about your diagnosis Flowers
My DH also has cancer which has spread (not cureable but being actively treated.) You've mentioned chemo a few times - just wanted to say that if they do suggest it DH did get through it ok. He DID have some days of being wiped out but he managed ok.

He needed to rest quite a lot and really hated losing his sense of taste during treatment (but this returned soon after.) We also bought a digital thermometer to to keep an eye on his temp.

Glad that the oncologists have lots of ideas up their sleeves for you x
