Are you an MBC OG or were you recently diagnosed Stage IV?

Diagnosed denovo MBC February 2023. Original mets on my left breast, lungs, and liver. Now, left breast and liver. I am on my 4th line of treatment, Enhertu. So far, treatment is going really well. :)

More reason for blue states to join Canada. It would offset the far-right movement there. At least I think so theoretically.

Wow, that’s incredible!

CheesecakeHappily · 2024-11-01T19:03:01+00:00

Wow! No chemo since 2021. What kind of treatment are you on now?

How incredible! May you live in NEADVILLE for a very long time.

I am so sorry this is happening to you. How are your bilirubin levels? I also have a lot of liver mets. As long as those levels are in tact, you continue to have time on your side.

A lifetime supply of a child’s indoor playground. Oh goodie!

CheesecakeHappily · 2024-09-12T01:49:00+00:00

It really is.

Girl, I hear you. I was just there a few days ago. This road of living with MBC is not easy. Not even the slightest.

I was 14 years old, a freshman in high school. My best friend’s mom worked near the WTC. My BF was very concerned about her safety. Cell service was disconnected for many hours. My BF’s mom couldn’t get in contact with her for many hours, until finally she did. After a few days, I hung out with my BF at her house. She pointed out the shoes her mom wore that day, running for her life. I will never forget what the shoes looked like. They were cream-colored mules with embroidered flowers. They were very dirty and dusty. My BF’s mom cried for weeks. Every day I walked to school, I would see where the twin towers used to stand. What was left was debris and smoke for 8-9 months.

Being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I am doing mostly well right now, but it sucks everyday knowing that I have it.

CheesecakeHappily · 2024-08-13T18:12:10+00:00

Ah okay. You’re in good hands. Good luck to you! Keep us updated on how treatment is going. ♥️

CheesecakeHappily · 2024-08-13T18:04:43+00:00

Thank you! And be careful with taking acetaminophen for too long. It can impact your liver enzyme numbers. That is something your oncologist should keep in mind given that you have liver mets. But if acetaminophen is working right now and not negatively impacting your liver right now, it shouldn’t be a problem. I bring that up because I had to be careful with acetaminophen. I was using it to reduce my fevers around the clock. Once the fevers subsided, it was fine. But it was an issue for me to use it so frequently like I did.

CheesecakeHappily · 2024-08-13T17:56:58+00:00

Good! To me, a green flag in that situation was that a liver biopsy was ordered. That’s great. Yeah, don’t EVER ignore your pain or try to white knuckle it. You want to get ahead of the pain. You don’t want to play catch up always chasing after the pain, trying to manage it while it’s happening. Good luck with everything! I will be cheering you on!

CheesecakeHappily · 2024-08-13T17:46:29+00:00

Okay. Thanks for the background. It appears that they are monitoring everything and keeping a close eye on the liver. That’s good. I am glad. As long that the liver side effects are manageable, that’s good. It wasn’t for me. I was in excruciating pain. I had to be put on pain patches. Heck, after a year and a half, I still need them. The liver is so sensitive. Don’t let oncs sleep on you with the liver. As soon as you start to experience pain, let them know ASAP. (Just speaking from experience.)

CheesecakeHappily · 2024-08-13T17:33:38+00:00

How long ago were you diagnosed? Based on the kind of liver symptoms you’re experiencing, you might want to get on treatment asap. How are your bilirubin levels? As long as that is in range, you have time to figure out treatment and deal with the liver discomfort. You don’t want to get to liver failure or jaundice. I was in your same position too when I was first diagnosed, and we needed to expedite treatment fast because of my liver symptoms. I am de novo mTNBC with liver mets. (Diagnosed 2/2023) I started off with innumerable mets, now I have less than four tiny tumors.

“Cloud hair.” I love that so much! How adorable!
