Metastatic Breast Cancer: Really want and need to connect with others

I have metastatic breast cancer which is considered to be Stage 4. I was diagnosed 12 years ago and have utilized many different treatments. I am currently on Trodelvy (infusion). Some of my blood work is troublesome so my oncologist is going to look at my labs tomorrow and decide what to do next. While MBC is not considered to be "curable" but based on my experience it is "livable". When my treatments stop working I get changed over to something so living as long as possible makes different treatments possible. I am quite happy with my life and hope I can keep this going.

I haven’t seen your post for a while. I hope you’re doing well. Your experience and cheerfulness has given me so much hope as I face the possibility of lung and liver metastases. Thank you.

Update: Doing OK. Was taken off the Trodelvy infusion about 6 weeks ago. My labs were not going the right direction. They sent a blood sample out for DNA testing and I was switched to Orseru, which is a daily pill. I don't know how well it is working. My next appointment is September 16th. Wishing you the best, Jackie

September will mark the start of my 13th year with MBC. Many people who know me seem surprised I am "still" around. Ha. Faked them out. J
