Hey beautiful warriors! Just wanted to give an update on my journey as I havent done that in a long time. I went to Chapel Hill monday for scans and bloodwork and as far as my bones and over all body I am stable! However they found 3 lesions on my liver. I am now on my second line of treatment after Letrozole and ibrance. The have put me on Faslodex and Piqray. I did receive 2 shots of Faslodex while I was there however ai am not sure I will take the piqray. The side effects to that med is absolutely ridiculous and I want to live not die from the meds. Actually all of the meds are so hard on our bodies that are already fighting hard. I am not afraid. I am pissed off at the devil/cancer. I trust my Father! Jesus said by His stripes I am healed so this is just another stepping stone for the Father to be glorified! Its faith that pleases Him! I want Him to be pleased with me! 😁 I have a consultation tomorrow with a Dr from the Hope4cancer center in Mexico and I am feeling like thats my next step. These oncologist only treat the cancer howevet when battling cancer its the Whole body that needs treatment. I am open to positive life giving comments if anyone is walking through this liver mets diagnosis. I am not being rude however if its negative info I cant allow my spirit to hear it so please please please only positive feedback! God has a plan!

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

I have several liver mets but I am not taking any treatment specifically for them. My understanding is that this is not necessary as long as your liver enzymes remain at normal levels. Liver enzymes are measured during your monthly blood work so your oncologist will know whether or not yours remain at normal levels.

The side effects to Piqray do sound extreme so I will not take it until it is absolutely necessary.

Best of wishes,

Cindy

I asked my doctor abt Piqray as it would logically be my next line from genetic testing that was done. She said that many do well on it without huge side effects. Which was interesting.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope you will find the answers you need from Hope4cancer. I will pray for you. I believe that God has a plan for all of our lives. Having a positive attitude may not cure anything, but it helps us get through our struggles and can also show our faith to others. Please stay positive and keep fighting. Sending hugs and prayers.

Hey thanks ladies for all the support snd positive comments! I want to let everyone know I totally didnt mean anything against anyone about negative comments. Trust me I know you are all aware of the negativity we are all having to overcome. I just meant that at this time I only wanted to hear positive inspiration because I am still trying to process and reaccess as I feel a bit battle weary from the relentless season I have been in. Not only with a failed marriage and separation, my mom just had a massive stroke however she has been recovering miraculously just memory issues we are battling now and that hurts to see your parent going through that. One of my beautiful friends who has 2 young children was just admitted to hospice. Its been a tough sesson to say the least. However I still believe in Gods faithfulness and I am grateful He chose me! So please dont take it the wrong way. Thank you ladies! 🙏🌻🌈

Praying for wisdom, direction & comfort for you as you endure trials on all sides. Psalm 121 comes to mind.

This is disappointing news about liver lesions. It’s a lot to change treatment too. Sending you hugs, and hoping you get answers in the treatment in Mexico. Please keep us informed. ❤️
