A positive story
Hi, my husband encouraged me to share my story because I’ve been encouraged by all of you sharing so here I go.
In 2022 I was 26 and diagnosed with stage 3 TNBC. I did the usual treatment, double mastectomy, and my pathology report came back clear and I was considered “in remission”.
In 2025 at the age of 29, I took the signotera (spelling?) test and was told my cancer was back. Triple negative metastatic breast cancer in my lymph nodes. My scans looked like a firework went off in my chest. I was told to make a bucket list and basically good luck by 2 doctors. A 3rd doctor gave me hope and said, I’ve had patients live with this for years. I was fortunate enough to get in at MD Anderson quickly with a 4th doctor and they truly changed my life. I started on gem carbo and my tumors started to shrink. My counts dipped and my scans were looking good so I was moved to Keytruda.
At the end of 2025 the Keytruda failed and I had 3 new masses pop up under my collar bone. My onc started me on Trodelvy and I thought “this has worked for millions of people, why not me”. I challenge you all to take that mindset, I told myself I would not loose.
Fast forward 6 infusions and I had a 99% reduction in all Mets. I did 6 more infusions and now my scans show nothing. My doctor has decided in NED! Something I never expected.
I start 5 rounds of radiation next week to hopefully prolong my NED status and fingers crossed I stay that way.
I have goals to start a family one day, continue my career, and love my husband as long as my body lets me. You can do this too. Keep your head up, you will not loose♥️
