Hi there,

My name is Kimberley. I guess I'm supposed to tell you my story so far. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 triple negative breast cancer on December 19th, 2022 (my son's 7th birthday). In January 2023 I began a 6 month journey of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In July 2023 I underwent a unilateral (one side) mastectomy with immediate DIEP Flap reconstruction. Once i was mostly healed from my surgery I was given 16 rounds of radiation in September 2023. Along with the beginning I was also put on a 6 month regimend of oral chemo. I had a CT Scan in January of 2024 which showed new lymph node involvement in the mediastynum. I had a biopsy to confirm it was indeed cancer. In March of 2024 I was give the news that I now had Stage 4 Triple Negative metastatic breast cancer. 

Shortly after my stage 4 diagnosis in April 2024 I started i.v. chemo again. In May of 2024 I had another CT scan that showed my tumor was gone. I at this time have no evidence of active disease. In fall of 2024 i will have anoth CT to see if i remain stable. Until then I continue with chemo and bope that my disease stays asleep so i can watch my son grow and live a happy life with my husband of 10 years Ryan.
