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

Finding 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.

Denise, 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.

Yes welcome! I am taking Kisquali. low dose Truqap and fluvestrant. I am confused about my many mutations. My tumor burden is 10.12. From my guardian 360 blood test but I don’t know what that means

I ask my doctor enough questions sometimes I feel awkward.

Jane, ask as many questions as you need to understand. Take notes so you remember the doctor's answers. Ask AI (I like Grok) to explain it in layman's terms. The more you know about your disease, the better you understand. This app has the NCCN guidelines recommended for your specific BC. Praying for you.

Aww Virginia thank you for your guidance. I will do that today. You are very inspiring. I really appreciate the advice.

Denise, I also have MBC. Glad to meet you!

Virginia Grok was helpful in explaining my Guardian Reveal results. Thank you again
