21 Years of Stage 4 MBC de novo!
Yay me! Today is the first day of my 21st year after being diagnosed with Stage 4 MBC de novo! Originally ER+, PR-, Her2+++ with liver mets. I had a recurrence in 2 chest nodes 11 years ago, which changed me to Her2- Somatic. I have had A/C, Taxotere, Gemzar, Herceptin, Aromasin, Faslodex, Kadcyla, Poziotinib, and now on Xeloda and Herceptin. I have indeterminate spots in my liver and lung, but they are stable. I am currently on Xeloda and Herceptin, for 5 years now. My diet has always been "everything in moderation", except for alternative supplements, pure soy products and alcohol. But now my diet has been compromised by the fact that I am on Xeloda (and have to avoid foods high in folate). And I now have hypoglycemia and orthostatic hypotension, which makes my diet even more restricted. But I will soldier on....

Hi denny123, congratulations on 21 years of living your life after a stage 4 diagnosis. It is great for you, but this kind of news encourages us all to 'soldier' on. This month I am 9 years on from my metastic diagnosis. I would love another 12 years too.
