"Does stage 4 breast cancer make you feel lost and trapped in a bad dream?"

Hi Angel, yes I feel that way all of the time ever since the diagnosis. Mine spread to hip and liver and I’m always paranoid. I feel like I woke up in a bad dream as well.

I will definitely pray for you both to have peace and comfort.

Lately, I've felt this way too, as everywhere you turn cancer is on the forefront. But hold on and keep your head up. Keep your mind occupied with things you like to do and stay surrounded by loved ones as much as you can!

Hi I also have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer that has spread to the bones. Do you know about https://Metavivor.org? please visit the website. We meet every Wednesday at 1pm via zoom or in person. Charlene
