Story about Breast Cancer .

Stage IV Outlier

Aug 21, 2017


Hi there! I'm sharing my story to give hope to others who have Stage IV breast cancer. More patients are living longer with Stage IV. I was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer in Dec. 2011. I was in a lot of pain. I thought my life was over. Fortunately I was living in NYC at the time and was able to see an oncologist at Sloan Kettering, one of the top cancer centers in the world. I have lived many years with breast cancer and I have never have chemotherapy. The treatment I use is called an Aromatase Inhibitors. I take a daily pill that interferes with the growth of cancer cells. I also take bone strengtheners, once every 3 months, since the cancer is in many of my bones. Breast cancer can be a confusing disease, because some people overtreat the cancer. My doctor's philosophy is to treat the cancer based on its unique characteristics. I started a nonprofit organization to help others with breast cancer in my city feel better about themselves.
