Progression already? 

It's been a while since I blogged. Time to blog again as it helps to make sense of an unfair situation. 

When I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in December, 2018, It was a world wind of emotions and decisions. I started therapy with Ibrance, letrazole, and zometa with the promise that Ibrance is well tolerated and had great results with improving progression free survival on average to 28 months. Well, here I am at 20 months and progression already.

I was sure that I would be one of those people who got 4 years plus out of first line treatment. No such luck, the dreadful progression to the liver is now here. Well, time for conversations about the next steps. Time to change therapy, sooner than I had hoped, but still so many options are available and I will persevere. Life is not fair, that is true, but it is so beautiful and so worth living. Wednesday will be the next oncology appointment. second line metastatic (stage 4 ) breast cancer treatment, I am ready for you.
