23 Years of Stage 4!

denny123

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!

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!

@denny123 so uplifting to read of your 23 years, as I am about to start year two… my heart is happy for you.

@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!

Hi Denise, congratulations on marking 23 years as a mBC trooper! I really needed to hear this today. thank you for sharing your story. So many posters stop updating once they reach stability, but you’ve continued to share your journey and your good news, which is so encouraging. I also appreciate all the tips you’ve shared about Xeloda, I’ve made notes of them to keep in mind ❤️
