How do you find courage to accept your stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis?

2 days agoHi everyone- I have been following for over a year but maybe afraid to post because it is a commitment to say out loud that you have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Scary as sh#%# but the longer that you live with it, the more you can absorb the unknown and try to be thankful for every day. I read all the stories and part of me wonders if the survivor stats are far behind because I see so many here and on other blogs that are thriving with positivity through the treatments and living longer than they thought we could. Stay strong and thank you all for sharing.

2 days agoFinding courage often comes gradually, and taking that first step to share here shows incredible strength. Many in this community have found that connecting with others who truly understand this journey can provide both comfort and hope, while seeing fellow members living full lives despite their diagnosis can offer a different perspective on what's possible. The support and shared experiences found here can be a valuable source of encouragement as each day unfolds.

a day agoDenise, welcome to our community. MBC is very scary. I've been on this journey since 2016. I've just finished my first week of Truqap with fluvestrant. I have PTEN mutation and AKT genome mutation. My life has been different, but rewarding.
