- This video is basically my first time back to my oncologist (or any doctor) since Feb, before being on, then taken off of Hospice, or during the covid-19. And it is also my first doctors appt to discuss my new treatment called Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy). And not only is it my new treatment, it is actually a brand brand new chemo, just approved. It is actually what took off of being on hospice, and will hopefully, save my life, or at least, add time to my life.
This channel is all about the life of me and my 3 children. With our Lord leading the way, we support each other, as we fight our battles and celebrate the our victory, in a difficult world where me, a single mother who is in active treatment for not only 1, but 2 terminal cancers. I make videos about my cancer journey,personal trials, and some fun videos, and videos with my kids. Something to do to take my mind off of the cancer.
I now have a GoFundMe.com account -

To learn more about my cancer history, please continue to read.
Back in 2010 I had been diagnosed with stage 3b ER/PR positive, HER2 neg Breast cancer in my left breast. I had Chemo, Bilat Mastectomy, with expanders then implants place, Radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy plus Bilat, oopherectomy. After 2 1/2 yrs of treatment, I went 5 yrs with no KNOWN, sign of Cancer.
However, in 2016, I was diagnosed with a rare terminal melanoma. with no skin involvement. After chemo failed, a combo immunotherapy treatment every other week, kept me stable till this April 2018. I discovered a new chest wall tumor, plus a few other tumors.They said that my Breast Cancer had mutated, and returned as Metastatic (terminal) TN Breast cancer. Although my doctor insists that it is a totally different Breast Cancer from the first. Oral chemo failed. And I did Radiation for pain. My last Radiation was on Monday 11/19/18. I stopped Taxotere due to my body not being able to tolerate the side effects anymore. Then I did Gemzar, and a number of other chemos, till my oncologist was out of options. We looked into clinical trials. I went to a few other hospitals for second options. But there really wasn't anything left. I basically begged him to let me try one that had very little chance of working. But to me "any chance", is better than "no chance". But he said he was concerned about my bone marrow recovering, having had so much treatment. And he was right. I did one chemo, then had to push it off 2 wks, had another one and after that one, which was in January 2020, my chest wall tumor, which was an open chest wound got infected. Then it opened internally, which exposed my left breast implant that I had placed in 2011, after a mastectomy. I stayed in the hospital to have it removed. Afterword, i still had the infection, which meant that I could not do any chemo's, which I knew my last one to be the only one left. And because of this, along with other factors, my treatment team told me that I would most likely pass in a very short time. So in late Feb. 2010, I went home from the hospital, to spend the rest of my life on hospice. But God had a different plan.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a good treatment outcome.
Great to see you looking and sounding so well.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. You are an amazingly strong woman.
Hoping and praying for you Tammy. Thanks for being so strong and for being of the first to get this new treatment. You got this!

I am so sorry for not loading any youtube videos recently. Besides having lots of medical issues, on top of the cancer, my charger for my laptop broke, along with my car breaking down. And the necessity for the money went to fixing my car. And raising that money, took some time. But thank God, I was able to get my car fixed, and get a new laptop charger today! So I will try to get a video loaded real soon. BTW- I have been recording things on my phone. I just haven't been able to upload, and edit these videos. So I will work on those, real soon. I have also been posting on my Instagram, which is posted below. And I also started a TicToc account. You can find me at @thrivingtammyg or simply under my name Tammy Grosso I have quite a few video's on this too. I was also updating on this account, and my instagram, when I was unable to make my CZcams videos. So you might want to check them out, to get up to date with what has been happening with me, over the past few weeks. And I am quite surprised at how many people have been following me on that account. And the comments have been very supportive too, thank God! Thank you for your continued comments, support, and prayers. Love ya'll!!!
