Over the moon—only to crash back into betrayal. That moment of joy, holding clear results in your hands, should’ve been sacred. But then came the truth my surgeon buried: skin biopsies can still test positive even after a clear MRI. He knew that. He didn’t tell me. WTF?? why not?? Pissed again at another doctor.
Cancer patients don’t need sugarcoating. They need facts. I deserved to know that back in January!
When I dug into the research – again – I found what he wouldn’t say to me out loud: there are no truly reliable tools for monitoring breast cancer in the skin, or treating it. And my biopsies still showed cancer. I found out that Cutaneous Metastasis Breast Cancer (CMBC) has a 22% survival rate! Omg … But I didn’t crumble.
I chose clarity over comfort. Strength over surrender. I gave MY protocol time. I trusted MY instincts—again—and I was right!
And out of that fire, I built something bigger than myself. That’s the moment BCA was born. Not just a response. A revolution. Something that captures the fire in my voice and my fight – make other women’s fight better!
