I know you have a lot going on at the moment but take care as getting stresses won't help your RA.
It's hard not to worry but you have to look after yourself too.
Take care of yourself

My mum had breast cancer a few years ago but she is clear from it now after a lot of treatment x sending you big hugs x
my best friend had that too she had hormone sensitive breast cancer from first child.boy. was advised by consultant to have no more children.. was on tamoxifen.. decided to "risk" another child.. not long after the 2nd child ws born.. she started having back pain.. it spread to all areas you mentioned.. died 8 years ago leaving 3 year old 8 year old.. her husband remarried 2 years ago which is nice.. the last time i saw her was to say goodbye.. in a coma on a morphine pump.. the hardest thing i ever did was to help her and her husband as best i could through her illness
my dads appoint to see consultant has come through may 27th!
