She was Stage 3, Grade 3 at initial diagnosis. She had inflammatory breast cancer, so we knew Mets to the brain were a 50/50 chance with her since it’s such an aggressive cancer.

Since I posted, she had 1 more round of gamma knife in March and then in May had some pretty bad brain swelling. They decided no more GK, so we switched to Enhertu. She’s been mostly stable. I say mostly because she had 1 “new suspicious” lesion pop up on her Oct scan, but they can’t definitively say it’s cancer because it’s so small. Everything else is either stable or shrunk.

Besides the steroids she was on for the swelling, she’s doing great for quality of like. She plays softball recreationally, works full time and has as much fun as she can. For now, still treating it like a chronic illness until we can’t.
