It's great that your scans show a stable situation. There is no need to apologise for anything! Your health and your family must be your priority. We are pleased that you share your highs and lows, but understand that there are many ongoing demands on your time and energy.

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you 😊

[@TheShayde2000]

I can't imagine being so young and going through everything that you have been through. My husband just finished chemo and radiation. He had throat cancer. I've seen how hard it is. We are exhausted. It's only been 9 weeks. But you have a baby and you keep going through it. We are sending you all the positive vibes. Thank you for sharing.❤‍🩹

[@SamanthaL]

Congrats to him on finishing! Chemo and radiation are extremely exhausting! I wouldn’t be able to do that with a baby without help

[@maureen7586]

It’s not unheard of for a second breast cancer to have a different pathology… and so , I agree with you, to continue with the therapy that you are presently doing. It is still performing well on the other areas ! You and your doctors will decide when and if to change the regimen. I am a two time survivor (2004, and 2021). You have the support of your loved ones…don’t let any internet trolls get the best of you…you handle it all with courage, strength, and grace ❤

[@rochellenicoletta7353]

[@tammyorr721]

I know you aren't a doctor but you think like one. I've always been impressed by that!

[@Sarappreciates]

Scan anxiety is for real, and these long days can be rough (hugs!), but at least you got it all out of the way in one visit. I'm on Zometa, which is like Xgeva, but infusion instead of injection. CT contrast makes me think of trying to drink a cup of saliva, hate it, but you're right that there are worse things. And YAY for no new progression! I understand how badass that is! My scan is next month just to confirm they aren't making me sick for nothing. Hopefully I'll hear some good news too. Your situation reminds me a little of the beginning of Heather Jose's story; she's been triple negative for almost 30 years! She had her baby and then got told she had stage 4 breast cancer in her 20s and is now in her 50s. Heather and her husband, Larry, have a podcast here on KZbin. They were both young like you and Grey, going to oncology appointments while caring for their infant daughter. They managed to raise 2 amazing kids while treating Heather's triple negative breast cancer for all that time, and they've interviewed their adult son about growing up with a mom who has this disease, which you may find inspiring. I wish you and your family a long and happy future like the Jose family!! Yours seems somehow more unfair than my cancer because I was over twice the age you were at the time of diagnosis. Mine made more sense in a way, I reckon. Keep hanging in there, kiddo! TLDR: You and your gorgeous family are such a beautiful inspiration to help fuel my own fight. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you for sharing! I am familiar with Zometa as I got those infusions for a couple years. I hope your scans go well!

Hi Samantha! Yay🎉for no changes. I am NED from Triple Negative… I get why you are hoping your cancer doesn’t change. Hormone positive has a lot more treatment available. However, sounds like what you r doing is working!!!! You have lots of life ahead of you!💪🏻🩷 Much love to you and your little family!🥰

[@gillsimpson4976]

So pleased your scans are unchanged. These small wins are good. I think it’s great that you are so informed about your disease and treatment. I have a friend with a newly diagnosed glioblastoma (brain tumour) and she never asks questions or advocates for herself. I understand she’s scared but information is power because it allows you to make choices. But glad you and your little family are enjoying your life.😊❤ x

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you! Being newly diagnosed is a complicated, confusing time. I hope things are going as well for your friend as they possibly can :)

[@leasnowy]

To be fair a glioblastoma is a completely different situation because there are not many trials and it's basically known as a death sentence. I hope your friend is one of the few who make it through, but with Glioblastoma there is often so much they can offer you

[@terry1496]

Stable is really good! Your videos help so many women who are going through the same thing. My friend had triple negative a few years ago. Her treatment was very drastic but she is doing quite well raising her son who was only 18mths at the time. He is now a teenager and she is still cancer free. You got this Samantha.

Samantha, I’m happy that it was basically good news for you

[@angelinemutsengi2148]

I think its Ctually an amazing idea having this information. It can sometimes be the difference between extending your life by a ciuple of months or years or even cure. I really really saw rhat on 2 other youtubers. Their wives had the exavt same cancer in the exact same location, similar state of growth and the same stage diagnosis but 1 youtubers doctors agreed to remoce her primary tumour and she lived i think over a year after when she had been givrn a few weeks. With the other youtubers wife, she requested tumor debulking and they said they didnt think it would help and she was dead within 2months. Knowing if your cancer is hormone hungry is also so important in treatment, found out from my mums journey so i hope you get all the results and extra informtaion you need to be able to be hear for as long as you can for your husband and your little girl.

[@SamanthaL]

Thank you. Being here is the goal 🥰

Hi Samantha, I'm so happy to hear the good news!! ❤ I too am a breast cancer warrior. I'm on letrozole and verzenio. Do you remember what percentages your oringinal cancer had? What was the estrogen and progesterone percents? Currently mine is 95% Estrogen 3% progesterone and her 2 low. I didnt know the cancer could change like that. Enjoy your beautiful life with your family! You look really happy and healthy. I pray for you when the Lord brings you to my mind which is quite often.❤🙏

[@SamanthaL]

Stable is so good!

[@marybennett1220]

Im so glad you have no change. And your blue eyes looked so pretty with the blue top you wore to the marathon hospital day. I had triple negative breast cancer excised in 2001 with a finding of clear margins. I opted not to do chemo then, just radiation. The treatment protocol for maintenance after primary surgery/chemo/radiation with triple negative may have changed, but back then, there were no options. Friends I made who had some positive receptors were all on one or the other drug to keep there cancers at bay, but I had no option. I guess triple negatives can be more aggressive, but just having no options to keep the cancer down after primary treatment might have been part of that. But for me it has been 23 years with only a few scares that turned out to be nothing. So not all triple negatives are aggressive. I'm 73 and i guess my goal is to live as long as i can too! And oh, I remember drinking that CT scan drink. Yuck.

Hey Samantha, fellow breast cancer person here. The reason it may be changing could be due to treatment-induced mutations. That's not too uncommon. If it's no longer estrogen positive, can you wean off the AIs? There's also the Keynote-22 treatment protocol for TNBC. Oh, also! There is a breast cancer vaccine for TNBC currently in Phase 1/2 trials showing lots of promise. Anyway, best wishes and may all your scans be stable!

All MBC survivors are tough. We love to do all the scans we have to on the same day. I use to have CT and echocardiograms on the same day every 4 months. Now I get the echocardiogram every 6 months. Hey my heart is still good. Is the nuclear bone scan the same as a PET scan? Mutating diagnosis is scary but we can't do much about it, but wait and see! It is always amazing the way some radiologists make reports. Some are much more detail-oriented than others. I am sure you are like me and pick them apart too. You never can have too much information. It is your life. Have a great day and keep having fun in the rain or in the sun!

[@SamanthaL]

Yes! Some reports are way more detailed haha. A nuclear bone scan is not the same as a PET scan. I’ve had both before. Nuclear bone scans are typically used to check on cancer that’s metastasized to the bones

[@cindyscharr457]

@@SamanthaL Thanks as mine is in the bones too I have never had one. I also have never had a DEXA scan. I have asked for one but my Doc didn't think it was necessary if you had a CAT scan. It sure makes you wonder with the DEXA scan he told me that it was highly unusual for BC in your limbs and with the Nuclear bone scan he felt it was not necessary because I have CAT scans and it would just be more radiation.
