I had a bilateral mastectomy at 70. It is not silver bullet though. Breast cancer has now spread to my bones. I just found out and in the process of getting treatment and figuring out what my strategy is going to be. Breast cancer was supposedly in remission since 2018. This was certainly a socker to say the least.

My thoughts are sure with you. This could definitely be any one of us, and likely several in this group will face exactly this. I am feeling somewhat schizophrenic, trying to both emotionally brace for a return cancer while simultaneously also trying to forget cancer and focus on doing the most important things I would most regret not having done with the precious days I have. (Was your 2018 tumor triple negative by chance?)
