After my original diagnosis in 2004 of breast cancer in the left breast, in January 2009 my doctors found my breast cancer had metastasized to my bone, specifically, to my spine. Next came major back surgery, leaving me in a TLSO brace and using a walker, followed by radiation, and then chemo. Distant metastases is a diagnosis of advanced, or metastatic, breast cancer, which is incurable. With Marvin's amazing support, dancing and writing I will continue to thrive.
