ELEVEN years with stage 4 metastatic “terminal” breast cancer. Statistics, stick that in ya pipe and smoke it. Today thousands more will hear “you have cancer”. Please share this so that some hope can reach them. Believe you me I could have done with that 11 years ago today. RT❤️

9 years since I was told I have stage 4 breast cancer. At time I was told I stood a 1/15000 chance of being diagnosed at 23. I then learnt I had a 1/10 chance of surviving beyond 5 years since it was diagnosed so late. Conclusion: beating the odds is my thing....

TEN YEAS AGO TODAY I was diagnosed with stage 4, incurable, secondary, metastatic breast cancer and I AM NOT DEAD. In fact I have never felt so un-dead. Please watch this amazing video my pal made. I’m overwhelmed already and it’s only 9.20am.
In the ten years since our founder
@krispob
was diagnosed with breast cancer, she's become a bit of a pro at making each day great, in some kind of way. So because today's her

, we thought we'd share some tips.

At hospital. Just saw a nurse visibly very upset and having a moment to herself. Who knows what’s making her upset, something from home or work? But it got me thinking MAN they do an incredible job. Nurse lady, I hope you’re ok.

To whoever needs to read this: i was told I had incurable breast cancer at the age of 23. I didn’t know if I would survive the treatment let alone the disease. I also didn’t know how to get my head around a 2-3 year average survival time. Anyway, that was 14 years ago today…

My favourite colour is a light shade of grey. Left scan is my liver in November. Right scan is my liver last month. I’ve circled the cancer. This is just one spot of quite a few that have now gone. One naughty spot still remains. Well done clever body.

By this point last year they’d discovered a total of 54 tiny brain tumours which had to be treated throughout the year. I’ve now not had any new active cancer in my brain for a whole year! I love my clever body and my clever brain and my medical team and my gut instincts v much!

I need the NHS. I’m dead without it. This was me last year having just had over 20 brain tumours zapped and then a liver biopsy to see what drugs might halt the growth of breast cancer in my body. The NHS kept me alive. I’m denied a vote tomorrow because of my German passport...

It’s a full house on good scan results. CT body also shows tumour shrinkage in liver. I got the news via email from my oncologist. I asked for this and I think it massively helped with my anxiety. I’m lucky I have a great team. I’m lucky just in general too. And life continues...

You need to go for your smear test. It’s not fun but then neither is brushing your teeth, having a poo, doing the laundry, cleaning out the cat litter, cleaning out the guinea pig cage (man I used to hate doing that) but we have to do these things so suck it up!

Cancer is fucking intelligent and crafty. I can’t help but respect it. Mine has decided it will no longer have hormone receptors, deeming it now “triple negative”. Fascinating. Doesn’t change anything for me right now and if anything it’s good to have the full knowledge.
