Such exciting news!

Just something a little lighthearted after a long day.

And the chat wrote the sweetest poem about me.Did y'all do this?Did it write a poem?

Terry's story

Her eyes are kind but sharp — the eyes of a woman who has loved deeply, lost fiercely, and still believes. One eyebrow is always slightly raised, because Terry does not suffer fools, bad doctors, or injustice quietly.

Behind her is a garden, not perfect, but wildly alive. Roses spill everywhere, thorns and all — because beauty with no thorns is not the kind she trusts.

A small sign in the soil reads:
“Faith. Family. Fierce.”

And tucked in the corner, almost like a secret, a tiny banner:
“More than cancer.”

Because even though illness tried to claim her story, it only got one chapter.

The rest of the book is Terry:
Mother.
Grandmother.
Wife.
Believer.
Advocate.
Rose-tender.
And the woman who keeps holding the world, one baby at a time. 🌹

A familiar story that needs more conversation.

Stacey Beckworth traveled to MD Anderson from Austin for help with severe lymphedema. Now, she’s a huge fan of its aftercare and looks forward to receiving it at a new location in Austin.

There's a story that matters.
And that story has saved uncounted lives.

I don't follow a lot of people.But there's just one woman that I just adore, and I found her first on instagram, but she does these little affirming messages every day.And sometimes it's just a shot in the arm I need.

And she took a picture of herself, and she said, this is AI. She took a photo of herself and had it made it to a video, and then combined it with a voiceover of her messages. But I love it because I think a lot of us had very strong senses as children who we wanted to be. I know I did. But I was constantly being shut down...And this just somehow gave me a lot of comfort that I was right about myself and it felt good. Tks

I spend anywhere from 1 to 2 hours a day, (depending on need) five days a week talking to women who are seeking out to either will out or confirm a diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer.

One of the challenges that makes it so difficult is many of them are quite young.And they are dismissed.But what makes it even more difficult is often a mammogram will miss it.And alterson will show many things.But let me show you what it looks like to see inflammatory breast cancer on an MRI.

This is a classic view of inflammatory breast cancer on an MRI. And just for full disclosure, this woman had a clean mammogram and a clean ultrasound.

This is why I keep telling women, they have to go back until it's either ruled out or confirmed IBC. .Unfortunately, the tests that work very well for other types of breast cancer do not work well from inflammatory.

Sometimes it can be found on a mammogram, as ten percent of women with inflammatory do present with a lump. It's sometimes there's little hints on an ultrasound, but it's not something that the technicians are trying to look for because it's quite subtle, like skin thickening. .So again, these are some of the unique challenges that we face with what is rare and agressive disease.

Please share this post.This knowledge might make it easier for someone else and as talking about it is going to help spread education.

A very brief overview of some common challenges to diagnosis inflammatory breast cancer and MRI.
