Hi there, Thanks for visiting my page! I’m a 33 year old living with metastatic breast cancer. I was diagnosed April 2022 with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer. Unfortunately, despite undergoing 8 cycles of IV chemo and surgery, my cancer spread. I am now living with stage 4 cancer and will be on oral chemotherapy for the rest of my life. From the moment I was diagnosed with cancer, the Mater has been my biggest support and greatest advocate. The nurses and doctors work tirelessly to let me keep my life as normal as possible. Their mantra is the hospital revolves around your life, not the other way around. The Mater is helping patients like me live a relatively normal life but it is a public hospital and needs your help. Support the Marilyn Swim and help the Mater keep providing services to cancer patients like me so we can keep living our lives. Thank you!
