Hi Connieguth! I was just reading your profile and I'm so sorry your cancer has spread. Just wondering what stage were you before you found out? Also did you have any symtoms or did they find out on a blood test? Just wondering cause we're the same age and I'm having lots of bone pain. Thanks! I look forward to hearing your journey!

I'm also 45 living with stage 4 mets. 2 1/2 yrs now. Sending good vibes your way!

Scrolling down through this page and seeing your "shared an experience" ....I share your journey! I've been a year and a half now since first diagnosis of breast cancer that had already spread throughout both lungs and to bones. Femara, estrogen blocker, is still working to keep me stable. I have scans Friday to check up on it, but so far, so good. Balancing the pain meds and laxatives keeps things lively! Constipation to diarrhea and back again. And the fatigue. Nevertheless, I'm enjoying life and planning a trip that I'm very excited about. It's one of my favorite things and to one of my favorite places. The planning is nearly as fun as the actual traveling....also cheaper and more comfortable. I hope and pray for good health for you, or at least stable, with lots of good times this summer. Who are the people in the photo?
