I have not been on this board for quite some time as I've needed to live my life and not think about cancer everyday.
I found comfort here often when I was diagnosed and for this I want to thank everyone who moderates and those who post.
I have the most exciting news and I wanted to share it. I'll give you the short version but if anyone wants more information, I'll be happy to share.
In Nov of 2016 I got the call we all dread. Yes it's cancer and it's TNBC. It took me until June of 2017 to decide I HAD TO do chemo. I saw 6 oncologists with various approaches. Let's just say some very BIG names and some SMALLER names.
In the end I went with a Dr in Seattle, WA who is not part of a big group. He has been practicing for close to 30 years and does Metronomic Chemo. After finding out the cancer had spread to my lymph glands I couldn't wait any longer and did the chemo.
I had a double mastectomy after chemo and no radiation. I finished the chemo 12 weeks after starting it in June of 2017. In October of 2017 I started hoping for the best.
It's 14 months later and I just had CAT scans and a bone scan and I have NO EVIDENCE of Cancer or Metastatic Disease as of today December 12, 2018.
My Dr treated me with the first course of chemo being Metronomic Chemotherapy and I have continued weekly shots of another drug ever since chemo ended. I'll gladly pass on my Dr's name should anyone want it.
I 100% believe I have a very good chance of the cancer staying away. I owe my life to my Dr. I'm BRCA positive and he treated me as such.
Please find a Dr you believe in, who can give you their history of treating TNBC. Leave no stone unturned. I'm happy to give the facts of my case to anyone who is interested.
