Hello and welcome, sorry you need to join us. This is a wonderful place to find understanding and support.

I remember when I was first diagnosed I felt like I was the only person in the world with mbc then I found this group and it's been a life line 😊

Welcome. I was diagnosed bone Mets June

2018. Ibrance and anastrozole with modest side effects. Still active. After hearing this crushing news, my 3d cancer dx since 2004, I was very low for a month. Then, oddly, I realized I wasn’t going to die right away and that mood lifted. I see a counselor, take CBD tincture with low THC for anxiety, and rely on the support of the wonderful women I found here. Good luck.

Hello and a warm welcome to this amazing group. I don’t know how I can get through this illness without the wonderful, kind and compassionate people on this board. You will be okay here.

Hi and welcome. I'm quite new here too, diagnosed in April this year, and Im so glad I found this group. There's so much support and a lot of information on things like diet and what to expect with the meds etc. Real people experiencing the same ups and downs and the myriad of feelings we all have. I hope it helps you as much as its helping me. Sending positive thoughts your way, stay strong and take care. Xx

Welcome to the group nobody wants to be a part of! I'm also new to the group and newly diagnosed and have found this group an amazing support during my first few weeks.

welcome & sorry you needed to join us in the MBC club...this site does though make it a bit easier to cope & know that you're not alone in this.

I joined the club in January 2019, and I've been helped numerous times when it comes to weird symptoms or what not. Sometimes that help is just to lend and ear, so to speak and reassure me that I am not on an island.

All of the above - like what everyone else has said. I've been living with metastatic breast cancer since 1998. The only online support back then was a list server where you could send an email to a central source and then receive emails back in response. Things have changed a ton since then. I find that FaceBook has been a great place to connect with others on a daily basis. Not sure if you're on FB -- some people avoid it at all costs -- but the MBC community is strong there.

Welcome! I'm sorry you're here though. You will find a lot of support, answers to questions, opinions and a place to vent/rant if needed. We all have different diagnoses and approaches to treatment, ie: conventional, alternative, complimentary, etc. You're definitely not alone. :-)
