Since learning of liver mets two days ago, I have been a hot weepy mess. Just like I was at initial diagnosis, just like I was at brain mets diagnosis.

Does every step back feel just as bad as the first diagnosis? I need to get a handle on this...this is my life now.

Would love to hear from you on how you handle the ups and downs of progression....I don't like roller coasters too much, I prefer the merry-go-round.
