It is two months shy of five years since I was dx'd with Stage IIIb, Inflammatory and Invasive, 6 nodes positive of 26. ER+ PR- Her2+++
Two yrs ago I was dx'd with mets to mediastinal node/s, spot on lung, spot on pelvis...then brain mets.
Today I am NED and feeling good finally, thanks to my med onc and my asking for a hormonal drug.
I am an old fart of 55, and didn't think I would be alive to see this past spring, yet here I am.
One thing I have learned is that we are all different, our cancers are different, our response to treatments is different. So, even tho' there are those 'damned statistics' there are many of us on both sides of the line. Some die too soon.......some of us keep on ticking for whatever reasons.
And I hope you're one of the energizer bunnies
