    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 just stopped Taxotere due to my body not being able to tolerate the side effects anymore. 3 wks later I started Gemzar, another chemo that stopped working after 2 months. I then tried Doxil, and Halaven before I got a major infection in my chest wall, that opened up a hole, exposing my left implant. I ended up in the hospital in Jan 2020 through Feb 2020 with that infection, and having that implant removed. I then went into hospice due to the fact that my doctors never expected me to get over that infection, and because I was getting sicker and sicker without chemo, which I could not have, due to the infection. So during the pandemic lockdown, from the end of Feb 2020, to the end of April 2020, I was in hospice. But they were able to get the infection under control, my weight up, and my health getting better. But my treatment team didnt think that last chemo was working, and there were no other treatments to try at that time. Or so they thought. Wks later, my son found a new type of chemo that had just been approved for MTNBC. So I left hospice to try this chemo. I had my first treatment the first wk of May 2020. And my first scan in Sept. was good. And this is where this video picks up.
    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.

    Oh Tammy I am so sorry. You are right that you do need to have some quality time with your kids! Covid restrictions are relaxing so find a state park on nearby lake that has cabins to rent. Reserve asap as they fill up quick. Can spend a weekend or a week depending on your schedule. They are usually reasonable in price and being outside is safe. Take the lawn chairs and hammock and the kid's bikes and just enjoy each other's company. Will be lifting you and your family in prayer.

    As gard as it is to watch this update, I just love the way you talk about the dancing and making a fool of yourself.. 😂 WHO CARES? 😂 Sweetie, go ahead and have that fun, no matter what. You deserve to laugh and enjoy a moment that is everything but your reality. And don’t worry too much about arguing with Christian, he’s a bright boy and will understand everything, in due time if not right away.

    Do any of your hospitals offer palliative care services? From what I heard from this update you quality of life is being negatively affected by the Trudevly chemo. Below is a list of possible resources available for palliative care. Your are in my thoughts and prayers.🙏🙏🙏
