55

Today marks another year around the sun for me and I thrilled to be here. I slowly weaned back on Tucatinib and my body is tolerating it. Dave and I will go to Siteman Cancer Center on Wednesday to visit my oncologist and get Herceptin #86. I will also begin slowly weaning back on Capecitabine. These 3 drugs (Herceptin, Tucatinib and Capecitabine) are part of a clinical study called HER2CLIMB, a study that did not exist when I was diagnosed 5 years and 3 days ago. Funding metastatic breast cancer research keeps me alive.

On Saturday, October 12 I will be participating in the Be a Hero Fun Run in Plainfield, IL. If you are in the Chicago area, join me for a fun day raising awareness and money for metastatic breast cancer research.

On Sunday, October 13 – National Metastatic Breast Cancer Day – I will sharing my story on a live virtual broadcast for #LightUpMBC. I will be standing in front of State Farm Center in Champaign, which will be lit up in the colors of the metastatic breast cancer ribbon – teal, green and pink.
