From Stage 3 to 4

First diagnosis was 2012, Stage 3 HER2+. I felt a lump in the shower during Breast Cancer Awareness month. It spread to the lymph nodes under my arm, so I had chemo and radiation with 7 years on tamoxifen. I got real sick when I went to ER and a chest x-ray revealed a mass on my lung. I had my lower lung removed, then a year later after I found a different oncologist who was thorough and scanned me every 3 months, we found more cancerous nodes in my abdominal cavity. I was back on chemo (Herceptin/Perjeta). After 15 months, that treatment stopped working, so I was back on chemo, but my third line was Enhertu, and one node was treatment-resistant. I tried 5 high dose rounds of radiation, 18 months later and all nodes are stable! I'm living life and treatment is not stopping me.
