‘I might just be another patient, but to my 6 kids I'm everything.’ | Pink Hope TNBC Project
‘I feel like I’ve got a lot of fight left in me.’
Susan, a mother of six, was diagnosed with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. Even though her doctor determined she was too sick at this stage to try any clinical trials, Susan refused to give up the fight.
'What I get from my appointment is I'm probably too far gone; it's probably not going to do anything for me. But why can't we try?’
'My life might not mean much to the hospital; I might just be another patient; my life might not mean much to the government, but to my kids, to my six little kids, I'm everything. I'm the world to them...’
----------
‘Beyond the Diagnosis: Confronting Triple-Negative Breast Cancer’ unfolds as a 3-part documentary series by Pink Hope, sharing the compelling stories of Keely, Rhiannon, and Susan, all navigating the challenges of triple-negative breast cancer.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for approximately 15% of all breast cancer diagnoses in Australia each year. This aggressive form of cancer predominantly affects younger women, resulting in poorer clinical outcomes, including higher relapse rates and lower survival rates.
By giving a voice to these patients and sharing their lived experiences, this documentary series serves as a call to action, advocating for early detection, better support, further research, and medical advancements for triple-negative breast cancer with Australian political decision-makers.
Susan’s loved ones have created a GoFundMe in her name to help her family financially during this difficult time, you can make a donation here: www.gofundme.com/f/vsb53-susans-story
