It's strange, but as someone from the outside looking in to this point, it seems like cancer pushes to the forefront the best of people's character. You're character, strength and faith should be studied, bottled and sold! Don't pay attention to the numbers, odds, statistics... They mean nothing, they are just numbers. You just keep fighting your fight one day at a time. It's an honor to cry with you! It's an honor to know you, and it's an honor to read your blog! You have no idea, but you have helped renew people's faith in God. One day's your boys will grow up and read your blog and say, mom was a bad ass! And you'll say, yes YES I am! As a daughter, words can't describe how grateful and appreciative I was that my mom fought so hard to fight her so called "terminal" cancer. She made it through on her clinical trial, but even if she hadn't, she taught me valuable lessons which are keep the faith, keep fighting, and appreciate every single day. When your boys are older, they'll see that too. I'm praying for you, and your beautiful family. Thanks so much for sharing your story, despite everything your going through.

Although I don't have triple negative or IBC, I am doing a clinical trial and have some experience researching them. While I'm sure there's nothing I can say that you and the team at MDA haven't discussed, I did a little bit of looking breastcancertrials.org. First off, have they biopsied a met to make sure the pathology is still TN? If it did change, you could do hormone and/or targeted therapy. Second, what about Halaven/Eribulin? There was a trial with it going on at my cancer center that I considered and my onc seemed very positive about it. From what I gather from your blog, I can't see anything that excludes you from this trial: http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/search/view?cdrid=749056&version=healthprofessional. Unfortunately it seems to only have locations on the East Coast but I will seriously send you $$ for travel. Thirdly, maybe you are excluded from it because you have already had Xeloda, but I've heard of TNs having good responses to Gemzar. Fourthly, if you want someone else to help you with any research, I am completely willing. You can find me on my google profile if so. I'm sure I'm overreaching and I hope I don't come across as creepy here, but I see a lot of myself in the way you've handled having cancer and I just wanted to try and do something...anything...to help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542563786929800914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2598394965719309416.post-41701697381960571902015-06-05T12:57:37.374-05:002015-06-05T12:57:37.374-05:00Okay, you made me cry, but please don't apolog...Okay, you made me cry, but please don't apologize.

Even if you beat it by a month - that's one more month with your amazing husband and gorgeous, superb, precious little boys. But I am praying praying praying for the miracle. You have so many wonderful friends with just the skills needed to help you wade through SO MUCH CHAOS/complicated literature. I know we hardly know each other, but your fighting spirit sounds just about how I would tackle this myself. Right down to the goals list at the hospital. :) (I did that too - but for the birth of little Lukas... right on that white board... of course, that was way less scary.)
