Yes, I did and do still have the tests. They show + ctDNA - most likely due to the mets to the bones. BUT, once again, I have zero (0) bone pain and some of the lesions are 4 to 5 cm in my spine and pelvis. I do not feel ill and bloodwork is perfect.

The Altera Tumor Genomic Alterations test showed only one possible genomic target BUT the report states that there are "NO FDA approved drugs for patient's cancer," "NO FDA approved drugs for other cancers [with this alteration]," and "ZERO Drugs Predicted Non-Beneficial" (but I am allergic to previously offered drugs). There is one possible clinical trial but I do not qualify.

There are other DNA amplifications noted w/"prognosis poor" and NO FDA approved Drugs as well as stating that AIs and Immunotherapy would not be beneficial.

It is a good thing that I live by,
"Sticks and stones may break my bones...but words will never hurt me!"
I feel and look so healthy that you would not be able to pick me out of a crowd as a person who has Stage 4 cancer.

I say to you - Chin up, learn, research, take care of yourself/body/mind/spirit and do not let words or predictions rule you!
Keep putting one foot in front of the other and put the diagnosis at the back of your mind so it does not interrupt all of the good things that you will do today. You have so much love and life inside of you... and so much to share!
Not one person on this Earth is guaranteed tomorrow.....do not waste today!
Be strong....be a tiger.....ROAR because today is YOUR day!!!
Get out there and You do YOU!!! 🙂
Much love to you, my friend!
