I am so sorry you are here, but welcome
This a club that no one wants to join, but since you're here let's chat. I too am stage VI with mets to bone. This is no longer a death sentence many women have survived 20 plus years. This is now considered a chronic illness and as the medical community moves forward we could perhaps live to be a 100.
This is a lot for you to absorb in a 6 week time frame, you have the right to be afraid. We have all walked in those very same flip flops. Take some time to breathe, trust your instincts, trust what your body tells you and take time to rest.
Please keep us apprised and visit often.
How old are your children? There are also support groups and on-line discussion groups to help your children work through this as well.
I can't speak for the group, I am no expert however there are a lot of very wise women here that can help make this journey easier for you.
My Best to you and your family.
Peace and Love,

We'll you've had a lot to
We'll you've had a lot to deal with in the last 6 weeks, it's no wonder your mind is spinning. You've picked a good place to sort through it all. The people here are compassionate, supportive, and will become friends. Come back often and let us know how you are doing.
Hugs,

thank you everyone for yourMarcia527 said:Hi
Here's hoping you get to watch your kids grow up. Mine are grown but I did pray for that same thing when they were small and I was healthy back then. The best thing you can do is spend today making memories for tomorrow.
Hugs.

Welcome
Glad you found us. Like others have said, there is a lot of hope for stage 4 survivors these days. Many go on to watch their kids grow up and then some. Take it one day at a time, one step at a time and allow yourself the range of emotions you will feel without judgment. It comes with the territory, but the bad stuff usually passes. If you are younger, there is a great site for women diagnosed under 40 called www.youngsurvival.org. There you will find many women with young children. Good luck with everything and keep posting!
