in Stage IV/Metastatic Breast Cancer ONLY

Today is the first day of my 23rd year after being diagnosed with Stage 4 MBC de novo. The past few years have been very challenging since my body has been protesting against so much chemo, but I am doing my best to hang in here.

Sending love to all of you!

Denise

    Thanks to all!

    @cookie54 I miss you on whatever site you used to be on- lol. I get confused. Are you still on Xeloda? I am at 7 years.

    Yes I am very active of Husband,Life Family on here, wonderful group! I do follow along on Xeloda and TNBC etc.

    I have been on X for 2 years in July and so far it's been holding me pretty stable. Fingers crossed next scan in January they have been watching a new bone lesion that popped up 6 mos ago. But I am hoping to ride the X wave for a loooong time!

    @cookie54 Nice to meet you. I was thinking of another Cookie who had been on Xeloda for several years. I think that she is now off Xeloda and on to something else.

    Best of luck!
