  |lol that gave me a good laugh thank you for that! I used to not be a
  |fan of pink but I have an aggressive form of breast cancer that spread
  |to my brain. So now I’m all for the pink and early detection so others
  |don’t die from this or have this happen! I was diagnosed in COVID with
  |stage 3 breast but when I relapsed in my brain so quickly they now
  |believe I was already stage 4 when they found it. Wild but I’m still
  |here somehow! It’s awesome!

    |I also have stage 4 breast cancer and am doing my best to love life

        |My grandfather survived an inoperable brain tumor for 30 years
        |1970-2000, they had prehistoric medicine at the time. You got

          |That’s amazing to hear! Honestly these are the stories I cling
          |on to. My neighbor had kidney cancer that spread to his brain
          |in his early 30’s and he’s in his 70’s now. He was also
          |treated at the Mayo and I always think of him. Now I can add
          |your grandfather to my list of awesome outcomes for the times
          |I’m worried or afraid. It’s important to have hope so thank
          |you for taking the time to share! 😀

        |Since you love stories like this, I’ll just leave this here:
        |First off, you are an incredible incredible inspiration for
        |others.  Thank you for that.       Secondly, I worked with one
        |of the first AIDS experts back in the bad old days of the 80s
        |when nobody survived it. Unconventionally, the doctor never told
        |our patients how long they had to live and when I asked him why,
        |he said because “good” patients want to do what their doctors
        |tell them so they will put their affairs in order and die when
        |they were expected to.          But without this “expiration
        |date” from the doctor, our patients often went on to live for
        |years and years.         And now it’s actually a manageable
        |disease. So much is in the mind. Your friends and family must be
        |so proud of you.

          |
          |Thank you for sharing this I love hearing things like this! It
          |gives me hope. That Dr. sounds like he helped so many people
          |with that approach. I was told by my oncologist the average
          |life expectancy was 2 years but hopefully I have many more
          |than that. When we left after that I was bummed and my sister
          |was like do you think you’re average? No! So you’re getting
          |more than that and since then I haven’t really listened too
          |much to the statistics. When I would hear stories in support
          |groups of Women that have beaten the odds I would tell my
          |oncologist and they always kind of gave me a sympathetic like
          |yes that’s nice look but never would get overly excited or
          |give affirmation that I could be that too. I think sometimes
          |they don’t want to get your hopes up. I’m glad they gave me
          |the average so I could make some life decisions like I retired
          |from working ect but now I just tell myself they never really
          |know. And if others have had miraculous recoveries who’s to
          |say I can’t too! 😀

    |You mentioned early detection - 32F here - any signs / symptoms that

    |Obviously for self awareness only, not official medical info!


      |u/Forsaken-Pea-5727 - 1 hour
      |
      |Yes! I had a lump on my breast that I went in for 2 years before I
      |was diagnosed. The ultrasound and mammogram said I just had high
      |dense breast tissue. I was young and I think that happens
      |sometimes no one did anything wrong just the scans didn’t pick it
      |up. Fast forward two years later I felt a lump under my armpit
      |same side. They ended up doing a biopsy and it was breast cancer
      |that spread to most of my lymph nodes on the left side. The tumor
      |was right where the lump I had gone in for was and has been
      |growing for 2 years. So I had a lot of cancer in my body by the
      |time they found it. Rules with insurance have changed in the last
      |years where Women can request 3D mammograms now. Which would have
      |caught mine they work well for dense breast tissue and younger
      |Women especially. So my advice is do self checks and if something
      |feels different go in but also advocate for the 3D mammogram. They
      |don’t offer them at first since they’re more expensive but they
      |will approve it if you ask now. I’m in a local support group and
      |it’s a bummer how many young Women have stage 4 breast cancer. It
      |keeps impacting people younger and younger so it’s super important
      |to advocate for yourself if something doesn’t feel right.
      |Hopefully you don’t ever have to but knowledge is power! 💕

      |Originally in May of 2022 they gave me an average life expectancy
      |of 2 years. Usually when cancer spreads to the brain from a
      |different spot it goes fairly quickly. In my case my breast cancer
      |that spread to the brain is HER2+ which is aggressive but they
      |know it grows by an excess protein so they know how to target it
      |really well. Just some of those drugs have trouble crossing the
      |blood/brain barrier so that’s where I got a secondary tumor. They
      |did gamma knife radiation and gave me only a 2% chance of long
      |term survival. Basically if I don’t progress on first line of
      |targeted therapy in a metastatic setting I have a chance. It’s
      |rare but it has happened like I wouldn’t be the first one.   Right
      |now they give me a brain MRI every 3 months and it lights up a bit
      |more each time and is slightly growing/swelling. They aren’t sure
      |if it’s tumor regrowth or radiation necrosis (damage from
      |radiation). So until they know for sure they are just watching it
      |and if it does grow back looking like tumor they have said they
      |will do surgery this time. Since I haven’t had any other disease
      |except this one brain met pop up. Basically in crude terms last
      |time they wouldn’t do surgery since they didn’t think it would
      |change my outcome since they didn’t know how much cancer I had
      |circulating. This time they are willing to do surgery so they have
      |belief I have a chance at survival which is cool! The neurosurgeon
      |said he would do it curatively with craniotomy and radiation if it
      |grows.   Sorry that’s a lot of info but yes I’m saying there’s a
      |chance! They have been pretty optimistic lately it’s really the
      |further out you get without something happening the less likely it
      |will with my type of cancer. So I just try not to think about it
      |too much and enjoy life. I heard stress is bad for cancer so I’m
      |trying not to worrying about things outside of my control.

        |My mum has stage 4 brain cancer, as well. Glad to hear you're
        |still so active and positive!  What medications have they had
        |you on? Are you pursuing any clinical trials or non standard
        |treatments?  Keep at it, the energy is inspiring!

          |
          |I’m so sorry to hear about your mom going through this as
          |well. After the brain tumor was found they radiated it and put
          |me back on targeted maintenance therapy of Herceptin and
          |Perjeta they are targeted drugs for HER2+ breast cancer.
          |Neither get into the brain well so Mayo pushed to get me on a
          |brain drug called Tucatanib early from the drug company. Since
          |they said I might be dead before it was through clinical
          |trials for first line in a metastatic setting they were able
          |to get me on it early. I’ve been on it ever since and I think
          |it’s a big part of why my brain is still stable. There’s some
          |clinical trials available too that look promising but my
          |oncologist said I’m not there yet. They call me oglimetaststjc
          |which means I just have one distant spread site. Mine didn’t
          |stay localized but it also doesn’t look like it’s widespread
          |all over my body with multiple metastasis. Just the one brain
          |tumor so far luckily. They scan me and are watching to see how
          |it changes over time if it grows back they want to do surgery
          |on it. My neurosurgeon said if it was in a better location
          |they would be proactively be taking it out now. But since it’s
          |on my occipital lobe I’m guaranteed to lose all vision in my
          |left eye with surgery. So they’re waiting to make sure I need
          |surgery before they do it. Since the tumors been stable for
          |awhile just slightly changes each scan. They aren’t sure if
          |it’s radiation necrosis or tumor regrowth so I basically just
          |take my targeted therapy and we wait and watch. I already have
          |some vision loss so even if I lose all of it out of that eye
          |it wouldn’t be bad! I’m rooting for your Mom too! I hope she
          |has a lot of years left in her too!

      |Survival rates for brain cancer go way way up if you survive past
      |9 months. Odds are even better if you're a younger adult. Brain
      |cancer treatment has gotten insanely better over the last 15 years
      |or so.

        |Yeah younger the better.  5 year survival rate for the total
        |population of people with brain cancer is 35%, but under 40
        |years old is 70%.  Still will likely be the cause of death
        |unless it reacts well to meds or is a viable candidate for
        |surgery being in a spot that hopefully wouldn't reduce quality
        |of life to 0.

  |I’m sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost mine about 5 years ago as
  |well and I know how hard that is. Especially when you’re really close
  |and it’s unexpected. Thanks for the encouragement gonna keep trying to
  |stack up the days in honor of those that can’t. I’ve lost a few
  |friends to this disease through this journey and it just makes you
  |more aware that you’re lucky to be here even if the future doesn’t
  |look exactly how you envisioned it.

|Obligatory fuck cancer. Monday marks the first anniversary since one of
|the most marvelous women I’ve ever met died from breast-to-bone cancer.
|She received a prognosis of eight months but chose treatment, and got to
|spend another magical 10 years with her daughter and husband traveling
|the world and imparting love with every personal interaction she had.
|Everyone who needs to see this should know that they got this. Treatment
|is a personal choice with a terminal diagnosis and it doesn’t always
|result in beating the odds (they’re called the odds for a reason), but
|if you want to do it- fucking do it. Enjoy and do as much good as you
|can as long as you can. ❤️

  |Has any Dr. talked about this? I'm kinda in the same boat, but have
  |gotten rid of my Glioblastoma because of Cyber-knife and
  |Avastin^(®) (bevacizumab) works differently than
  |chemotherapy. **Avastin is used with chemotherapy** and hits your
  |cancer from another angle. Avastin is a tumor-starving (anti-
  |angiogenic) therapy. The purpose of Avastin is to prevent the growth
  |of new blood vessels. This stuff crosses the blood-brain barrier. Stay
  |strong and I'm pulling for you guys. Take care

|may i ask what medicine they give you for your brain . i also have a

  |I had a glioblastoma (>95% survival rate) removed from my left
  |temporal lobe, It started with a seizure January 23, and the area of
  |the seizure activity turned into the cancer. It was very aggressive
  |and grew quickly, they took it out early may 2023, chemo did not help,
  |kicked my ass, and it started to come back, then a procedure called
  |Cyber knife, I lost mobility on my right side, had constant head
  |aches, and had a hard time finding my "words"...Also, high doses of
  |anti seizure meds as well...radiation bran swelling was significant.
  |And then I was put on (bevacizumab) works differently than
  |chemotherapy. **Avastin is used with chemotherapy** and hits your
  |cancer from another angle. Avastin is a tumor-starving (anti-
  |angiogenic) therapy. The purpose of Avastin is to prevent the growth
  |of new blood vessels. It crosses the blood-brain barrier. Now, I have
  |M-Vasi (generic avastin) infusions every 2 weeks, I have MRIs every 2
  |months and so far the tumor is now GONE.  I stilI have some swelling
  |but gained 95% mobility and my speech and stamina are getting better
  |every day. I'm working through and still have massive anxiety issues,
  |WILD dreams and periods where I just need to "rest". I'm working in my
  |garage on my machines, using the snowblower and ATV, and I'm looking
  |to riding my sled this winter. Not sure what's going on with you but
  |feel free to reach out, take care and glad I found this post & thread
  |Thanks forsaken pea, hoping for the best.

    |It's really good to hear there's been progress for glioblastoma. My
    |mother was diagnosed and operated on April 23 and died May 23. The
    |tumor grew back extremely quickly and little could be done. There
    |wasn't even time to get started on chemo.  They kept waving away her
    |headaches in the ER as nothing serious until she started
    |hysterically telling them she felt like she was dying. Frankly I
    |feel the system failed her, valuable time was lost misdiagnosing
    |her. Thank you Australia.

    |>Oncologists are saints  In my case, it was most certainly the
    |radiation oncology RN's that bore the brunt of the worst of me
    |during the intense parts of radiation treatment and their after-
    |effects, something I swore to them up and down during it that I
    |would "never do again" and even "I'm never coming back!", only to
    |come back the next morning all sheepishly. And then many, many moons
    |later, speaking to them in follow-ups all brave like "Oh yeah, I'd
    |totally do that again"-even though that'd mean my cancer had spread
    |to my other salivary gland and lypmh node on the other side of my
    |face. It's the only one I have left and I consume monstrous amounts
    |of cannabis (in non-smokeable form), so imagine my cottonmouth!
    |Anyway, I am also so happy to hear fellow survivor stories that are
    |full of the realization that life alone, it IS the prize.   You've
    |won, you're still alive! You're a human in the act of ***being.***

      |many people come from all over for it. Takes me about 2 hours to
      |get down to Rochester from where I live now which isn’t too bad!
      |We make it day trips mostly or when I have scans we stay one
      |night. They do all my scans one day then the next day tell me the
      |news so it isn’t bad at all. They don’t keep you wondering long at
      |all which is nice! 😀
