Living with stage 4 bone metastasis

Update posted by Deborah van Niekerk

Hello everyone, my name is Deborah and I am currently living with stage 4 bone cancer, it is Metastatic Breast Cancer. I was first diagnosed back in 2012 and underwent chemo and decided on a double mastectomy, and was in remission until it was discovered by my CT scan in May 2019 that I have now got stage 4 bone metastasis in the sternum, spine and pelvis. I'm done with the chemo and am now on bone strengthening and hormonal meds indefinitely as I am triple positive, that's ER/PR+ and HER2+. I have days where I really struggle but I put on my brave face regardless. Any donations would be so greatly appreciated. I wouldn't normally even ask as I have always been a very independent person, however I find myself in a place where I need to ask for help. Many thanks for considering my request, I really appreciate any help you can provide.
