edited June 2014 in LGBTQA+ With Breast Cancer
    Hi Everyone. My name is Alabama and I am 40 years old. I was Dx. with triple Negative Breast cancer on June 10, and since then I have found out that it is Stage 4. Need less to say my partner and I are devastated. I am more worried about it then I let her know, because I don't want her to worry. She has been amazing. I could not ask for a better partner. I have had 3 surgeries and 1 chemo treatment. I have to have have 8 more treatments, and 6 weeks of radiation. My Dr. said, "it is in both of my lungs." I hope and pray after all my treatments that it will go into remission. i would like to talk if anyone wants to talk. I am always on  the computer so I'll be glad to here from you. Sincerely,  Lesa Marie...AKA....Alabama

    I'm so sorry for what you're going through. You must be terrified. I think your wife would want to know everything-- knowledge is power. I'm sure watching you go through treatment will be hard on her, when I was going through tx I thought that sometimes my friends were more distressed than I was, watching me suffer.

    Hello, NoH8.....Yes it is hard for her. I had my 2nd treatment this morning so the next 10 days will be diffcult...  I have to tell you what is really sad.. About a year ago her son lost his girlfriend in a car wreck.... His first and last girlfriend.. i told her you just never know......Now she is scared to death that she might lose me within the next 2 years.....Of course with all the good medicine they have it might just be another 10 or 20......So how are you doing?
