@mamarina I was stage 2b. Three years ago I found out that the cancer had come back in the surgery bed. Last week my local doctor told me he thought it had metastasized to my lungs. Heading back to Mayo for tests on Wednesday to find out if they see the same thing.

Marvin its amazing youve come so far. I can only pray. I didnt have surgery tho but was told even if I did it comes back .. but its uplifting to know its still fightable.. i lost alot of weight when first DX last april in hospital so when i tried the folfirinox it almost killed me and landed me back in hospital so i switched to gemcetibine which I also didnt fair well but did shrink it
Then did the proton radiation since surgery wasnt a good option
When I had breast cancer 6 years ago I was in good shape and normal weight so tolerated the chemo. Im 4’11 weighed 102. Now I cant seem to get above 82 lbs , I have 2 stents which limit my food choices
Anyway prayers to you , you are an inspiration to us all
