Stage four

Stage 4 metastatic ductal carcinoma in my lymph nodes and bones and liver. Now osteopenia. Her 2+ results are pending fish test...what does that mean? Pathologist missed putting in for fish order now another 2 weeks to wait results. Chemo or no chemo. 

My oncologist documents say lies about why I wasn't on tamoxifen post mastectomy on my records. And now I have stage 4. Spreading fast.. I'm so angry and confused. I'm mad at.people that say I will pray.. or have faith... I dont.believe in that. My life is not in God's hands it's in my doctor's hands. One mistake and that is all.it.tales to get to stage 5  and death... one delay on treatment and it can spread.more. everyone looks at me to be strong. Fight they say. I'm trying to be my own advocate and it isn't working. All I get is one bad news after the other. I constantly wait for shit to fall apart. I'm tired

 People say file.for disabilities now. How im.i gonna live i need to work. I'm in pain. Can barely walk due to the pain in my bones. My body hates me. Now I have osteoporosis and bad gums from 5 years ago chemotherapy. Not looking for prayers or sympathy just the honest truth...does anyone survive stage 4 cancer. What does survival look like?

I’m surviving with stage 4 invasive ductal carcinoma I did treatment and surgery as well as radiation but they found nodes on my lungs and I’m waiting to hear about my spine(they think it’s spread there) my oncologist messed up on my case during treatment and was caught and they now make me see 2 oncologists at the same time. It’s hard to not have resentment when looking back I think my care wasn’t even half what it should have been. But I also can’t live with the anger so I meditate and do what I can to make what time I have left mine.  I feel good, and for the most part now that treatment is done I feel almost normal. Biggest of hugs.
