I relate to so many on this thread, but even though we all have Stage IV breast cancer we are all different. I will start haloven on Monday and will turn 66 during my first off week. I did not start out Stage IV, mine started out Stage II. My colon cancer, however, did start out Stage IV, so now I have two Stage IV cancers. The breast cancer is the most agressive though, now being in breast, liver, and bones. The bones are giving me the most trouble. I have 6 tumors in my spine and have recently found out that it has now reached my skull too. Collar bone, shoulder bone, and rib recently broke due to the cancer, they called them pathological breaks. The ones in my legs and ankles are acting up now making it hard to walk but I'm stubborn and keep on doing as much as I can every day. Right now I'm trying to put a book together for my sons to make it easier for them to find what they need after my death. I feel this will give me a greater piece of mind that I'm done dealing with all this death stuff and can start doing more of the stuff I want to do. It's about to be spring here in the south and I can't wait to start working in my yard again! I've planted so many of God's beautiful flowers over the years and am very much looking forward to seeing them bloom again. Looking forward to walking around flowers with grandson Carter later this month and hoping to get to do the same with my grand daughter Zoey once she can walk, but I've got to wait a little while for that since she's not quite five months old. I've got a lot to live for so I'm fighting this cancer thing with all I've got. Hanging in there for a little over seven years now.
