Journal entry by Kari Vietti —
7/16 first diagnosis of aggressive stage III, 4 ac 4 t, double mastectomy, 2 emergency surgerys, 7.5 weeks of radiation and on top of it all Tripple Negative! With no after cancer medication (5,10 year) and never having my energy or feeling really healthy 3/18 cancer has spread: chest wall (just told un operable), lower axilla (just told would need to remove ribs to even have that removed), on 6th month of 1 week gemzar/carboplatnum and next week gemzar then 1 week off.. repeat! I feel like I have never stopped fighting but also feel that where do I go from here? My doctors, surgeons etc.. Nobody know where to go next?
