Hi @LizziB
I was very scared. It's like you are entering into a new world that you don't know what it hold for you. My mood was definitely affected. I was sad and worried for weeks while I was still coping with the news. I did reach out to a cancer support group in my town. I needed to be with others who had gone through something similar who could reassure me and understand my feelings.

Hello everyone,
How are you today? 😊
Most people with metastatic breast cancer find their mood can be affected at diagnosis by everything from trying to manage symptoms and side effects of treatment to anxiety about what the future may hold, issues at home and managing relationships. Tell us your story!
Do not hesitate to share your experience!
Take care of yourself,
Lizzi from the Carenity Team
