Living with Breast Cancer: A 22-Year Journey

God bless you Drusilla! 🙏🏾.

May you continually be blessed 🙌

God bless you!

My goodness 4th diagnosis?? You are a Trooper. You had to do chemo all those different times?

Thank you.. No, I had radiation the first time, chemo second, then 15 years cancer free. In 2020, I had radiation to reduce the size of the tumor on the armpit before surgery. Then, in June 2024, to present chemo every three weeks. She told me yesterday that everything looks good, so she will continue the chemo a little longer. One day at a time.☺️

This is a general update... not in response to a specific question... 4 months ago, after a year on 2 different AIs and crippling, disabling joint, muscle pain... and a history of blood clots, thus Tamoxifen wasn't an option, I stopped all the meds and got my quality of life back... but I asked myself, what can I do in addition to lifestyle and diet changes if I am not on medications? The only thing left was to stop all alcoholic beverages ( based on latest warnings from former surgeon general)... That felt like a reasonable decision in view of the toxicity of alcohol when metabolized ...I don't know why/how I got breast cancer at age 78, but I did... I would love a longer life but I won't exchange quality of life for possible percentage increase in a few years... but I am also staying on top of all the latest developments in treatment, hoping that there will be better treatments with fewer side effects down the road- power and blessings to all of us challenged by this disease...

Thank you for sharing this inspiring journey and for being such a source of strength within this community. Your resilience over 22 years and positive outlook in the face of multiple diagnoses shows incredible courage that can help others facing similar challenges. The wisdom about staying positive resonates deeply and creates meaningful connections for fellow community members navigating their own paths with breast cancer.
