@beckyboston Hi, cancer is a challenge and unpredictable. I had my first breast cancer in 2017. I had 2 sites in my left breast Er+PR+ Her2-. I had on mastectomy on my left a breast and took Letrozole for 5 years. I faithfully had mammograms on my right breast. All has been fine until
April of 25. My chart reported “focal asymmetry”. “Maybe ultra sound right breast. Come back in a year.” I called for further clarification and got a letter on my chart that said my mammogram was normal and come back in a year. I called my oncology team and they ordered further testing. After a more targeted mammogram and ultra sound, I was told I need a biopsy. That result was TNBC! So here I am today after another mastectomy both now with reconstruction followed by chemo. i am starting to eat well and I lift weights and am walking 3 miles most days. My hair is coming back and I keep moving forward with cancer still lingering in my mind.

@roberta75
Im TNBC stage 4 with bone mets. After a year of immunotherapy plus Zoledronic acid, the lump disappeared and the mets disappeared. Cancer cells now have metastasized to my thoracic, lumbar vertebrae and hips . Im still continuing my treatment with light exercises and morning sun exposure since i live in Philippines.
Hopedully i will win this battle.
