    In your pocket for scans with fingers crossed for good results. I have been stage IV for 3.5 years and the scanxiety never goes away.

    @micmel exbrnxgrl's quick demise was such a shock. As you know, she had been NED for 13 years on AI's alone. She had difficulty dealing with the side effects from the AI's so with her doctor's encouragement, she went off of them and on no treatment whatsoever for about 18 months. She was being monitored but all of a sudden the cancer blew up. A year ago she was still substitute teaching several days/week. Then her back hurt and they discovered that the cancer had spread. She couldn't tolerate Ibrance/Faslodex so they switched her to chemo. Chemo was a literal nightmare for her, so she went on hospice and died last summer. She seemed to be at peace with all that had happened and was glad she had a good 13 year run.
