Rest in peace Stefanie LaRue

12 years living with Metastatic breast cancer and working to spread awareness.I’ve been following this woman’s progress, because that’s what you do,

you find someone who has lived for a long time,someone who has completely defied all the odds.

She lived more than 3 times the average expectancy and considering she was diagnosed at 30, and young patients tend to have a much shorter survival time, she was amazing.But she died, aged 42, having spent what should have been the best years of her life, fighting a losing battle to stay alive!
Yet 12 years is something to aspire to, If I’m very lucky I’ll make it to 50 in 4 years time, that will be 9. I just got good scan results, I should be happy, is the cancer gone, am I cured, am I going to live a full life, no. I once attended a cancer conference where a social worker applauded stage 4 patients who where 1, 2, 3,4 5 plus years into diagnosis. It made me furious, we were supposed to be grateful. And I am, I strive every day to look after myself,to stay positive and live the best life I can, but sometimes it’s hard with this kind of death sentence hanging over you.
