A tale of twoĀ lives
It was the season of knowing and not knowing. The doctors said the word terminal, repeatedly, and then time began to move in three directions at onceāforward toward progression, forward in all the ordinary days and also backward through memories of what life used to be. Each scan carries the question of how much had grown, what had spread, what had been lost since the last scan or intervention. My body changes every time, quietly and sometimes more dramatically. Ordinary days continue ācoffee in the morning, sunlight through the window, carpool to drive, or not as we head into Spring Breakābut they unfold beneath the steady knowledge that the disease is advancing, marching towards the inevitable.

When Treatment Delays Impact Life: A PersonalĀ Account
Iām a pretty resilient person. Iāve faced a lot and retained my sense of humor (albeit more dark these days), my ability to see silver linings, the ability to keep going despite hardships, despite set backs, despite bad news over and over. Itās not been easy but Iāve developed a lot of tools to keep going. But some days, it seems too hard. Some days, itās just too much. I had a day like that a few weeks ago when I showed up for my Zometa infusion. For those of you who arenāt familiar with this medication, Zometa is a bisphosphonate, given for the affects of bone metasteses in an IV (intravenous drip).

The Loneliness Experienced During Forever CancerĀ Care
At first, there so much noise. Phones ringing, kind and supportive messages flooding in. Appointment after appointment, preparation for surgery after surgery. Fitting it all in becomes a full time job. Information is a flood, coming at you faster than you can process it, like drinking from a fire hose. People are everywhere, offering a hand, food, respite, coffee. Health care workers asking question after question after question. You feel at the center of a very large, uncontrollable storm. And almost immediately, you are isolated, alone. Because even surrounded by people you love, something irrevocably separates you.

Chronic v. Terminal
Thereās been several articles recently labeling Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) as a chronic disease sponsored by and including various non profits. Ironically none of the articles Iāve seen provides justification or basis for this claim and none cite to medical doctors or scientific proof. Instead of actual evidence or attempting to explain, the articles Iāve seen merely make the statement and shockingly move on as if there is consensus.

Navigating Grief and Support for MBCĀ Patients
In my circles of good friends living with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC), there is a great deal of suffering at present and that weighs on all of us. It is not abnormal to get on a zoom call ostensibly about the "business" of advocacy and talk mostly about these personal struggles because we lean on each other in big and small ways. We notice small and large changes, sometimes before anyone else because we're tuned into each other in nuanced ways and are more vulnerable with each other than most in our real lives.

Things to know when you are getting a port, from a patientāsĀ perspective
After receiving three different ports after my de novo Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) diagnosis in 2017, I've collected a few important things to think about along the way that I'd like to share. Not everyone living with MBC has a port and not all patients living with MBC desire one. It is important to consider the pros and cons of every decision, keeping in mind those things that are important to each individual person; at the same time, itās hard to know what to ask and when. Port #1 (non-power port, no name)

Navigating Lifeās Turmoil: A Call for Connection andĀ Action
When we add up all of the chaos, only exacerbated by the perpetual news cycle, the burden of trying to find truth when no one gives us everything, it is entirely reasonable to feel paralyzed, to feel as though all hope is lost, to not know where to turn. Whenever I turn on the news, I am bombarded by the different events, by rhetoric and opinions, by shocking videos, by big changes to systems we rely upon. It feels so big, it feels so chaotic, it feels overwhelming. I find it hard to look away, I find it hard to keep looking.

When a door closes, open a window ā¦ but what about when you run out ofĀ windows?
In this clumsy metaphor, the doors and windows are treatment options for Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) and so many of us only have a finite number of treatments before this terminal diagnosis completes its trajectory and ends its own existence and the host. Reaching the end of a treatment option and contemplating the shorter and shorter list of what could be next has occupied my thoughts and triggered a deluge of new and familiar angst in the last few months. But let me take two steps back and mention a new wrinkle in the cancer experience for me ā a new primary cancer.

Medical updates, JanuaryĀ 2026
2025 was a bit of a dumpster fire in relation to my medical care. It is only now looking back on the previous 12 months that I can begin to see just how bad it really was. It wasnāt just the specific side effects of Enhertu that put me into a foggy state most of the time, but also how many new and complicated things I had to manage. The year started off relatively typically in this Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) experience in that it was full of appointments and side effects from the Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) I was on, Enhertu.

MBC BCAM awarenessĀ #2
Good morning! Picking up where I left off last week with Breast Cancer Awareness month educational tiles from Metavivor: In 2017, I was 38 and had never had a mammogram because I did not yet meet the criteria for screening. I received my first mammogram in the process of my de novo diagnosis and if I had been getting mammograms, the density of my breast tissue and the fact I was breastfeeding would have affected the results. Every person needs to know their individual risk and which screening and diagnostic testing is the best for their body.

Itās October Again ā¦Ā 2025
While we don't see the fall seasons so much here in Florida from the trees, the rising incidences of pink smothered whatever always reminds me that October has arrived. Similar to other holidays, retailers get a start earlier and earlier in the year to capitalize on a larger timeline for sales. And while some of the most egregious perpetrators of Pinkwashing have been confronted and some have adjusted their behaviors, it's still something that is pretty clearly happening more than it should.

Navigating the Gray Areas of CancerĀ Treatment
Just popping in with a quick update as I've been remiss lately in keeping everyone updated. When so much is happening and changing in a short period of time, it's easy to forget that everyone else isn't doing this strange one foot in medical offices and the other in the real world existence. Periods of disruption to the routine/schedule are pretty consistent in this MBC experience and I have to say that it's a lot to handle when you have to juggle as much as is going on in our lives, but we persist.

Courage doesnāt mean fear is goneāit means you carry it with you and act anyway. Every bold step you admire was taken by someone who felt scared but chose to move forward. Fear is human. Courage is action in spite of it.
