Even my blended family of exes is joining me this year to raise awareness and money for breast cancer. While we weren’t in a good place during my cancer journey, what matters now, after living together for over 5 months during the Pandemic, my ex-husband and his wife are now a part of the team.
My mom and my boys are my constant source of love, support, inspiration and joy and nothing makes me and my boys happier than all coming together. This year, I’m one of @komengreaternyc ambassadors for the #Race4theCure and #Journeyto30 celebrating 30 years of #creatingmoresurvivors . Though we will be racing #togetherapart this year, our blended family is now together forever. What’s healthier than that?! I hope you can help me. Every dollar counts and any small donation is greatly appreciated, especially this year. Thanks so much for any amount you can do to support me and us.

What would you do? …if you were on medicine you may not need to be on for as long as planned?
Years after my Cancer Journey….still looking for answers that will determine my future.
What would you do?
…if you were on medicine you may not need to be on for as long as planned?
What would you do?
…with new information regarding your breast cancer treatment?
What will I do?
That is the question I keep asking myself.
What should I do?
That is a question I am starting to ask my doctors.
Here is what I’ve just learned:
Breast Cancer Index is a test for the exact kind of cancer I had . Breast Cancer Index may change my original plans. I was supposed to be on anti-estrogen medicine for 10 years but now, I’m learning, I may be able to cut that in half. Breast Cancer Index is revolutionizing anti-estrogen therapy decision-making and that’s why I’m learning and sharing. Breast Cancer Index is a test to determine risk of recurrence and whether longer therapy is likely to benefit me.
Here is what I recently asked my doctor:
Question…do you know if I have had the Breast Cancer Index test? Is that something you typically use?
Here is how my doctor responded:
Breast Cancer Index is a test designed to assess the benefit of continuing anti-estrogen therapy beyond five years.
When you get to the five year mark, we’ll assess whether you should continue based on many factors – how you are tolerating meds, your bones, most up to date research
The most important result is that my doctor is informed. I feel grateful that I was informed and knew the question to ask. I have a few more months to go before I am a candidate for the test and evaluate. Stay tuned!
