Around 2004, prior to my diagnosis, I became involved with the #CrystalGala Committee (now Foundation), based in #AbbotsfordBC. Learn more: www.crystalgala.ca/the-gala/

More of my story will follow in subsequent posts.

They are easier to read at Facebook.

Every year I had a diagnostic mammogram and in May 2017 was again declared ALL CLEAR!

That changed in July 2017.

After the lumpectomy, I went on a radiation schedule followed by the meds tamoxifen, then letrozole—five years-ish, all told.

These personal posts are for anyone to read and/or share but are NOT meant to draw advice or sympathy. If, however, they can help you or someone you know get through things--whatever those things are--then HOORAY!

The posts tire me, so they will remain short.

Cheers, all!

For this same reason, my family and I have decided to refer to my newly assigned position as a #PalliativeCare patient to a #ComfortCare patient since "palliation" really means comfort. This word choice gives me/us more control.

Yes, I live with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, but I choose instead to call it an #AlienInvader. In my mind, it receives less power from me, and I have more control.
