Update on my daughter’s cancer and mine

We got the news we didn’t want to hear today. Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Doctor says it’s incurable. She will be treated with chemo, radiation, hormonal therapies if applicable, as well as any and all naturopathic means. Some live months, some live years.
For those who missed my other posts, she is 29 years old, a newlywed who just celebrated her 1-year anniversary. She had pain in her hip and got it checked in mid-May. Tumor in her hip bone, lungs and liver. For now she is under the care of the Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle. From what I’ve learned in the few days of research I’ve done it seems like a first rate clinic. Seattle for all its faults is a world class city and I’m confident she’ll get great care.
As for my situation, it seams very small in comparison. Although I have to fight to stay here for her, I honestly don’t give a frick about myself right now. The tumor on my pancreas is small and contained as far as we can tell.
I have not had any treatments yet. I have made the decision to switch my care and treatment to the UAB pancreatic oncology group. Dr. J. Bart Rose III and the entire team there are on the cutting edge of this kind of cancer. I will meet with him on Thursday to get a plan in place.
It’s a heavy load to bear. I’m pretty much numb. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Thank you for sharing. So many of us have known the pain that Cancer gives to patients and their families and friends.
You must know how many of us wish you the best possible outcomes and I hope that there are some good things along with whatever fate deals you.

Praying for your family
My mom has stage 4 breast cancer that spread to her bones, it is incurable but her recent scans were clear
I pray your daughter has the same results

Always pray and never give up. Sorry for your very tough predicament. Will also pray for you and your daughter.

That is sombering. I cannot imagine how she or any of your family is feeling. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I'm glad to hear you got yourself into UAB, as I mentioned in the previous thread, let me know if you or your family need anything at all. I will do my best to help out.

This is world class shitty. I’m sorry man. I wish your family the best.
Posted on 6/10/25 at 9:31 pm to KingOfTheWorld
I’m truly sorry for everything you and your daughter are facing. I have chronically sick kids and there is nothing worse than being helpless to fix what’s broken and watching your children suffer. My heart goes out to you.

Are yall going to try the fenbendazole/ivermectin meds? I see many promising stories saying it worked.
If it was me in y’all shoes I’d be trying any and all things

My god, I can’t even imagine.
Extremely sorry for what your daughter is going through and as a parent I wish you strength to deal with something I’m not sure I could handle.

Thanks Booga. I meant to message you but I just decided yesterday. I was not happy with the standard of care I was getting. Ten days with no contact from anyone. Unacceptable. You were absolutely right. I appreciate it man.

Must feel like the whole world has turned against you in this moment. I wish there was something else to say except thay I'm sorry this lot has fallen to you King. Sometimes there aren't enough rocks like Forrest said. Have you informed your daughter of your condition yet? Seems I remember you were waiting to tell her.
