Colorado Women Fighting BC

Hi my name is Stacey I'm 33 years old. I was diagnosed with HER2 + ER- PR- BC on December 14, 2012. I had found my lump while breast feeding. Originally I had thought the lump was a milk duct. My Oncology doctor decided chemotherapy would be the first step in treatment because the mass was 2.5 cm and I had one lymph node that came back as a high grade metastatic cancer. My chemotherapy involved Taxotere, Carboplatin, Herceptin, and Perjeta for 6 cycles. I am currently continuing with drug targeted therapy every 21 days with Herceptin and Perjeta. My next step in treatment is a right mx and sentinel node testing on June 13. I'm awaiting staging of my breast cancer with radiation to follow. My doctor is thinking stage IIc or stage III. I will have delayed left mx and breast reconstruction after radiation. Since diagnosis I have good days and bad, pretty nervous but I am fighting with everything I have. My dark days are the uncertainty that comes with this diagnosis. My prayer is to be around for my 14 month old son Austin and dear husband Tim.



I have just been amazed and humbled by reading a lot of the discussion boards. I will never be able to thank all of you survivors that have helped bring me strength and courage during my journey. I wanted to reach out to meet other amazing women that live in Colorado that are dealing with BC. I have learned so much from others stories and advice. I still have many questions and worries. I would love to get to know you, hear your stories, vent, and or just give support.



Sending healing thoughts and prayers to you all!

Stacey
