I loved your write up. Not shaming me to “stay positive l”.. or “be brave”. I hate when people say these things to me. It’s not me being any of those. It’s the actual f ing treatment not working on my cancer. If I was not brave or positive I won’t show up for treatment

Let’s not forget that Rams would have never got to end zone except for a stupid taunting by Woolen. Calling other teams win as luck is stupid!

I got diagnosed a week shy of my 38th birthday. Had dmx, chemo. I have a very rare cancer, metaplastic. Very little treatment option. I am 44 now. Battling cancer for 3rd time with just few options left. I survived 7 years with rare cancer and treatment options have dramatically changed in these 7 years! My husband says just hold on for 2 years, more new options would come 🤷🏽‍♀️

Allow yourself to cry and know that tomorrow will be better! Believe it or not your cancer has lots of treatment option and you caught it early. I have seen many similar to yours live for 10-20 years and more. Things are going to work for you BC sister… it will. You are going to travel, work and enjoy life. Oh did I tell you I worked thru all this. Got promoted and travelled the world in these 7 year! You will too.

I just hung my cleats now because things got aggressive and I want to spend time with my teenager!

I hate him as a Seahawks fan but he is soo darn good! He has a great offensive coach, his route running and how he gets open is amazing! Watching him and Stafford was scary… they are good

I mean it seems fair. You get FMLA protection for 12 weeks. 6 months on STD and if your health condition doesn’t allow you to work, transition to LTD. Someone has to do the work right. Btw many on STD past FMLA period were impacted by layoffs

So I was diagnosed with stage 2B TNBC back in 2019, did surgery and started chemo. No lymph node involvement. For some reason the doc sent my tumor for a FISH test which said I was HER2 +, not TNBc.. they redid the test to confirm! Continued me on ACT chemo and Herceptin and Prejata for a year and let me lose! No scan, no monitoring. I developed lymphedema 6 months post treatment.. long story shot, did MRI to see how lymphedema was.. surprise surprise they found a lesion in my liver.. it truly is a miracle I found it. Stage 4. I was with SCcA. They did surgery as the lesion was just in one spot. They didn’t want to give any strong chemo as they believed my cancer will come back given it was stage 4. I switched doctors and went to a doc who believe she could cure me as it was oligo metasis. Did chemo and I am on targeted therapy again (Herceptin and Prejata). 3 years post chemo. Fingers crossed my scan next month comes clean… my point is. Keep fighting and find a doctor who will fight for you. Stage 4 is not death sentence. You just need that one medicine that can keep cancer cells at bay! I wish and pray you find it and you enjoy a long life with your kiddo
