Cancer X2

I was 37 years old when I was first diagnosed with stage 2 Breast cancer. ER/PR+/ Her2-. Now, 8 years later, I've just been diagnosed with bone mets, ER/PR -, HER2+. My cancer cells completely changed characteristics this time around but is still considered to originate from my BC. We also had genetic testing done for this to see if they could find anything (we only did BRACA1 & 2 testing my first go around). Turns out I have a mutated TP53 Gene.

I am 45 years old with 2 kids at home yet, just looking for uplifting positive stories from others who have similar paths as me. I feel fine, and like eight years ago, I'm not having any issues with chemo or my treatments. I honestly would have never even known I had cancer again had I not reached out to my oncologist with horrible back pain that the chiropractor and my family doctor were dismissing
