@dlsmabrey, I'm so sorry that you've had to face a metastatic diagnosis. It's not easy on any of us. In 2024 I had an early-stage breast cancer, but I do have stage IV lung cancer. I'm treated with a targeted therapy. People don't know that I have cancer, and they don't know that I think about cancer every day, but that's the reality. Treatments have improved over the 5 years that I've had lung cancer, the same may true for your type of MBC. It's likely worth an updated conversation with your oncologist. They may have some suggestions for how to deal with the weight of the diagnosis too; palliative care, therapy, an in-person MBC group. I try to focus on today, and not what's ahead. The initial estimate that I received was 2 years. Right away I didn't believe it, and it wasn't correct, as I'm here 5+ years later. No one can predict what's to come. The fact that you feel good is a blessing, you don't feel like you're dying because you're not yet. There will be time for that later, but for now, try to live each day, one day at a time.
