Heath, in my short time with my breast cancer diagnosis, I've been shocked to

hear from my friends about how many people they know who have Stage IV cancer,

and the cancer is either under control or in remission. You are wisely seeking

out those stories for your wife. They are where you both need to keep your

focus, there and loving that new baby of yours. You don't want to look back 5

years from now and think of the time you spent in mental suffering when you

didn't need to. I know you will hear the positive stories, too. Hang your hat

on them, not the others.

Prayers and seeing you both at peace,

Ellie

Looking for postive information to share with my wife. We are nine

days in with the first chemo undergone. The cancer has spread to the

lymph nodes as well as the liver. Our baby is only 6 mo.s old, and we

need something to hang on to; everything you read about this type IV is

so negative. Please, someone share some success stories with me, so I

can relate that positivity to her. This is so hard on me, I can't

imagine what it's like on her.

Namaste,

Heath

Hi Heath,

Was sad to read about you and your wife. A six month old baby is such a

blessing - I wish you and your wife could enjoy this time without having to

deal with cancer.

I was diagnosed 7 years ago and staged at IIIB - with inflammatory breast

cancer. I had a 40% chance of making it for 18 months - no one said

anything about a longer period of time. Like I said, that was 7 years ago.

During these past 7 years I've kept active in a couple of bc support groups,

most especially the ibc group. I am cyber friends with women who are Stage

IV for years. Their situation is treated as a chronic disease. Many

maintain a high quality of life. There are many, many success stories.

I must have missed your intro post - and I'm wondering what type of cancer

your wife has. Could it be inflammatory breast cancer (ibc)? Please give

her a hug from a sister survivor. I am sending prayers to both of you.

Regards,

Ann

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis.

I found breastcancer dot org has a discussion forum.

In it they have a section for people with metastized cancer.

You have to sign up to log into it.

I found more useful information on that board because the voice really

isn't hear about metastic cancer. At least that is how i felt.

My mom has mets in her liver. We got some good news last week, her

blood test markers were down 400 points. They are still way elavated,

but I consider good news for my mom.

I felt some more relief over their because they talk about

the different mets, what drugs their on, and good news, well and bad

news about people progress.

Hi Heath, I had stage iv BC with metastasis too, but it's move to my

bone not liver. It's in my right shoulder bone (the first BC was on

the left, I have no idea how they could move so far).

Before I had chemo my shoulder and arm was painful and I couldn't

move it. I am right handed and that made me not able to do my stuff

as usual. But after do the chemo 2 cycles, herbal therapy and acid-

alkaline diet, my condition is getting better and better. Now my

right hand can move again freely, without any pain and no pain

killer taken. My Dr. and his team were surprised, because at the

first time they didn't have much hope for me, and told me to

consider surgery (bone transplantation) or if the case getting

worse, it could be an amputation. But they didn't want me to be

handicapped so soon (I'm only 22 and working as an illustrator and

graphic designer) so they suggested me to try the chemo first to

reduce the size of cancer. They plan to gave me 3 cycles of chemo

and then do the MRI after that. If the size of cancer could be

reduced, maybe they still have to do the surgery but at last not

amputate.

Maybe my story not so good since even my condition is better I still

have no idea about how it will end, but there's still a hope.

There's nothing easy in dealing with stage iv bc because we must

prepare for the worst situation. But I believe if we still have a

hope and positive thinking, a good thing will come :). And we all

fighting together, I'm having my family beside me, like your wife

having you and the baby (I hope one day I'll be able to have one

too!)

Take care,

Tyas

Hi there

My name is Sharon and im from the UK, 3 and a half years ago I was diagnosed

with DCIS had surgery and radiotherapy ,then 6 months ago found it had

spread to almost my entire liver with a poor prognosis as to wether chemo

would help at this advanced stage ,I was so totally devastated as you and

your wife must be ,like you everything I read was so negative and I found it

difficult to find any success stories ,(I don't mean cures but time),which

brought me down so much but ,I finished my chemo on the 21st DEC and have

just been today for my first review ,my onc is very pleased ,my tumours

markers are down from over a thousand to 55 and she now says it indicates

that the cancer is classed as inactive for now ,scans show a significant

improvement ,much better than I dared hope for and my liver function is

normal ,I have nothing to indicate I should have any symptoms apart from the

tiredness from chemo still there ,she now intends to monitor me closely but

otherwise has told me to just get on with my life , if and when my tumour

markers begin to rise she will then use another chemo plus herceptin but for

now shes happy to see how I go .and I agree , of course she cant give me a

timescale as to when the markers may rise again ,she said she has a patient

where they stayed inactive for over 3 years and another where they rose

again after 7 mths so I don't know ,but I am feeling very positive . I wish

you and your wife all the best and please try and stay positive . Ill keep

you all in my thoughts

Love

Sharon

Thank you Sharon. Your story is inspiring. This diagnoses has so few postives

to hold on to that examples such as yours provide light in a very dark place.

Keep up the good fight!

lily,

The mind will drive you nuts. I have spent the last 10 months on the

internet searching for the best ways to cure this thing..

Some days I am very very up... and some days I feel helpless..

Like you said prayer is the best medicine.. if for nothing else.. to have

strength to get out of bed every morning and begin a new day..and to say thanks

for giving us that Day...

Kiss your children and hug them a lot... my kids and grandkids have been my

salvation.. and my husband too.. this is the first time in 35 years that I can

remember not being the 'Strong One " for the family.. I actually collapsed

one day into my husbands arms and just sobbed.. and he let me stay there and

just held me.. like I said.. the first time in 35 years of marriage that I had

ever done that.. funny how much we find out during all of this..

I will pray for you too..Hugs for you too...

It is nice to meet you... You have a wonderful, miraculous story to share,

thank you.. It makes those of us who aren't stage IV yet see that there is a

light when/if we get there. I am happy that everything is going well so far.

Your children rely on you and I truly believe everything is up to God as well.

May you keep the path of healthiness and happiness.

Love

Michele

Dear Lily,

I just had to post something about your message. Like nne said,

your English is just fine; I had no trouble at all understanding your

words and I sure have no trouble understanding that you are one of

us. This disease is our common thread no matter where we are from or

what language we speak. We all look at the same moon and sun and we

are sisters together in our struggles. It is my fervent prayer that

someday no woman, anywhere, anytime has to fight this disease and

live what we all are living. Peace to you Lily.

> Lily,

us. I will keep you in my prayers.

Lily;

Your story is such an inspiration to me! Thank you for sharing. I pray that

God will keep you and touch you with healing power.

I will keep you in my prayers as well as your family and your mom. This is

never easy.

Take care.

Hello Namaste,

This is her husband writting (with intervention of the wife ;) ). My name is

. We have a 3 year old angel and a 1 year old little bear (whom can

already turn the door knobs). We also have a teenager who thinks she lives in

orange county ( as on TV ) with a phone permanently attached to her ear. No

fault to her! Had I been a teenager at this time I think I would have been just

as bad with, perhaps, a little more geek-tronics.

I wanted to share a few words about our situation. For example, today, she was

given a clean bill of health from a CT Scan taken yesterday. While we are not

declared as being in remission this is third consectutive scan where nothing was

found. It a sliver of light in all this darkness.

We wanted to share this with you becuase when this began we searched all over

for any sign of success or survival. We found good results in Spain, where her

brother lives, and in Ecuador which is her home country.

At this time, we are keeping healthy as much as possible and have been active,

again, in all parts of our lives that we were prior to the start of this road.

Included in our activities is prayer and giving thanks to God for good health.

We (she... ;) ) would like you to know that she's currently using Herceptin

and the results have been good.

Well, I can't think anythink else...

We'll keep everyone in the groups in our prayers.

& Lily

Thank you for your story. It sounds so positive compared to what

else you can read. That's what we need. Good luck and keep on fighting the good

fight.

Namaste,

heath

Hello and Lily,

I'm so glad the scans are good! I just finished a year of Herceptin.

It's been touted as a miracle drug that offers hope for an aggressive

type of cancer. I also am a member of her2support.org, where many stage

iv women are on herceptin permanently with NED.

Lily, I hope you continue to get good news. , you are a

supportive husband - and family is so important for us in facing any

challenge.

take care,

Thank you so much for the insight. We are off to the oncologist today for the

third chemo tx. She is on taxol and doxil right now. I honestly don't know if

it's the proper protocol. We are going to UCLA as soon as we can get in. What

exactly is herceptin?

Thanks again,

Heath
