Meet others who are just facing the diagnosis of a recurrence of breast cancer or metastatic (advanced) disease. You are NOT alone.
I already know it’s a recurrence and in my sternum, probably elsewhere. Trying to figure out how not to have a panic attack when the doctor is telling me. I’m terrified.

I’ve been gone a while… after 12 years my er+ pr+ her2- cancer showed up in my brain. I had been getting more unsteady, but figured I really needed to work on muscle strength since I’m getting older (63). Qi was having headaches which I repeatedly complained about to my primary care - nothing was helping. But then I…

Based on testing with CT, bone scan, MRI’s, it’s confirmed I have bone mets to hip (several areas), pelvis (five spots) and a rib or two thrown in for good measure. I’m thankful nothing showed up in vital organs. I’m not surprised as I was diagnosed with ILC Stage 2B 13 years ago. I’ve been having positive Signatera…

Yesterday I had a follow up Pet scan and the indication says "New hypermetabolic abdominal, pelvic, and thoracic lymphadenopathy, presumably reflecting metastatic disease." I briefly spoke…
Hello, it has been many years since I visited this site, but I am seeking support and guidance on how to attack a triple negative recurrence. I had original diagnosis over 20 years ago, had lumpectomy/chemo/rad, and had a recurrence in 2018 in my breast. Mastectomy/chem for that treatment phase. This morning I learned that…
Hello. I’m struggling with accepting I have cancer. I found a lump in the top of my left breast, near the front of my armpit mid November . I hadn’t had a mammogram for years. I’m 71 year woman who believed I was risk free past a certain age. At the ultra sound scan biopsy in the beginning of December I was told what I had…
We had our first visit back to the clinic after starting treatment yesterday. Not a lot new to report. Bloodwork was good and liver function is fine. Nadia also seems to feel that the tumor in her breast is shrinking. As a husband, I am still waiting for the objective measure that we are making progress against this. She…
hi there. My wife is about 22 months into a stage IV diagnosis, original mass in right lung and multiple bone mets . PET report today showed avidity in the liver. She’s a little over 2 months into Kisqali. I’m wondering how long it took for the drug to “kick in” for you. Basically I’m just trying to find a reason to be…
