it's been a really long time since i posted! i know i keep up with all my "pink ladies" on facebook, but i'd like to get reacquainted on here again!

for everyone i don't know, i'm carrie, i'm 30 years old, and i have cancer :) HI!

things have progressed a bit since my last posts. finished with all my breast cancer treatments to find out just a few months after that i have bone mets now. spots in my c-spine, ribs and femur. i had 32 more rounds of radiation on my neck and femur, that ended in january. i'm currently taking aromasin and it's working well! CA 27.29 is going down! (just had my monthly appt yesterday and it went down 50 pts! yeah) also, i get xgeva shots once a month.
oh yeah, i'm positive for the BRCA 2, so my drs advised that i have a hysterectomy, which i did, in october.

so, that gets us up to speed!

*hugs*

    Welcome back Carrie
    Sorry for progression of your cancer and BRACA 2 mutation. Glad to hear that your recent treatment is working and markers are down to normal. I hope your mother is alive and she and other relatives were tested and are negative for this mutation. Sometimes cousins need to be tested too.
    Thank you for posting I recognize your picture.
    Hugs
