Life isn't easy by any means. I used to be a girl that would run constantly, have so much energy, but that has changed!

In June 2016 I was diagnosed tripple negative breast cancer recurring cancer.r in my brain lungs stage 4

I was originally diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in 2011. I made it six years when I noticed pain in what I thought was my kidney (I do have a kidney disorder). My family doctor found nothing, and he sent me to my urologist.

I was a 54-year-old lady when I went for my first mammogram, and it came back positive for estrogen-fed breast cancer. Scans showed it had already gone to my spine, my chest cavity, then it started a mass in my arm.

I was diagnosed in April 2018 at the age of 32. I fully believe a positive outlook and strive to survive are crucial to fight this.

In March 2016, I had DCIS Stage 0. I was treated with a lumpectomy and radiation. Ten months later during my routine mammogram, they found more cancer.

Nine years later, I went back to the doctor with arm pain. I was told it was most likely not breast cancer. I insisted they do a scan, and sure enough, cancer.

There are some days that I feel very upbeat in conquering this disease, but then there's times where my liver might be painful and it drags me down. I know I might not live much longer.

This diagnosis has impacted my life tremendously. I am still going back in my mind thinking about what could have happened to prevent this second diagnosis.

I was transferred to UCC in Chicago on November 13, 2018, and have seen ENT so far. My next appointment will be the December 1 for the gyno team. This is ridiculous and never-ending.

After months of not feeling well, I was finally diagnosed on June 1, 2018. I don't have any family history, and genetic testing was also negative.

I’m a 12 year survivor, but I’m scheduled to go to UT Southwestern this month because of burning pain in my other breast and a 9mm nodule in my right lung and a lump next to my spine!

I was originally diagnosed in March of last year with stage 3, while 7.5 months pregnant! I received 16 rounds of chemo, four of them while pregnant.

I am a fighter, and I am not going to let this beat me. Prayers, a strong support system and family help a lot.

I was first diagnosed with stage 2 on my birthday in 1998. In 2010, it came back in my left lung, in 2014, went to the bone, in 2017 to the liver. 

I would like to be able to share my story, and hopefully encourage others to be more proactive about their health, and not so scared about this.

[I am] 55 years old diagnosed [and was diagnosed] with metastatic breast cancer in January 2018. I did 14 days of radiation and am going on my 14th chemo treatment.

I was first diagnosed in 2013 after a routine mammogram showed irregular shaped microcalcifications in my right breast. A stereo-tactical biopsy showed DCIS. I underwent a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction at the same time.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kelli for many years. She is a beloved mother, grandmother and friend. She has dedicated her life to raising Labrador retrievers, often putting these loving dogs, her family and friends before herself.

I'm a runner, tennis player, mom, corporate spy, and woman living with MBC. I have been living with MBC since November 2015 after a Stage I diagnosis in 2013.

In March 2012, life was good. I had retired after 28 years in the Air Force as a Squadron Commander. At 56 years old, I was enjoying my second career as an MD-11 pilot and instructor at Fedex, when my life came to a sudden stop.

This past August, I reached a milestone that I was told I probably wouldn't reach - 5 years living with metastatic breast cancer. I'm lucky. Oh so lucky.

I'm kind of a different metastatic case. I've been off chemo for over a year! I had breast cancer, then they found breast cancer cells in my liver. I went back on chemo for 18 months. I took a break to feel better, and my oncologist has kept me off of chemo. 

I am 39 years old (soon to 40 on October 18) and a mother of three. I found the lump myself on February 22, 2018. I went to see my gyne and she ordered a mammogram and ultrasound. I had a biopsy on March 13 and was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer on March 20.

Diagnosed in 2008 after nursing my daughter for nine months and my left breast became painful, dimpled and was leaking. Asked the doctor in 2007 and doctor ignored me.

Still working 40 hours a week, and keeping a positive attitude. I have been on Ibranace and letrolzole since May of last year, and so far, I am NED according to my last PET scan.

I have just been diagnosed with Mets to my spine.

I was 29 when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Six months later I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I underwent a lumpectomy, chemo, & radiation. 13 years later I tested positive for BRCA1.

At the age of 45, I was diagnosed with stage 1A breast cancer. I went through five weeks of radiation, and was taking Tamoxifen. I was supposed to be at a very low risk [of reoccurrence].

I'm a 56-year-old mother of three and a grandmother of five. I was diagnosed July 2017 with breast cancer. The following month, I went to stage 4 metastatic breast cancer after a CAT scan revealed it had gone to my lung.
