Update - Molly's Husband and Sister on her behalf

Molly is much better at writing these posts than either of us will ever be.  She has received an enormous amount of outpouring of love, prayers, and well wishes from all her friends and family. We thank everyone for their support and prayers during this time.

After spending a week in the ICU, she is now at home on hospice care. She is comfortable and able to spend time with her cats. Oscar, her cat of 11 years, has been by her side since she got home last night. Molly has battled this cancer for the last two years and never complained a single time.  Up until last week, she tried every treatment offered to her. Hopefully, all the trials she has endured will help others in the future, including her tumor that is growing in a lab mouse, which she affectionately named Esperanza (Spanish for hope).

Over the weekend we asked her what she would want to tell all her friends and family.  She simply said, "Tell everyone that I love them very much, and that I feel all of the love right now."

    My name is Sierra Haley. Molly and I went through radiation treatment during the same time. We would chat while waiting for treatment each day in our fancy gowns. We even completed treatment around the same time. I always enjoyed her friendliness and contagious smile. She joined our last in person young adult cancer support group at UT Southwestern prior to the pandemic. We were all so touched by her story and sweet spirit. I was so happy she was able to join. I am sending all my love and thoughts to her and you all, along with all of us in the young adult cancer support group. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.

Progression, Progression, Progression

 apologize that it has been awhile since my last update. Since my stage 4 diagnosis, I have been placed on two separate chemos with very little to show for it.   Both medicines would help keep certain areas of the cancer at bay, while allowing other parts to grow.   The FDA recently approved a new drug called Trodelvy which is a mixture of chemotherapy and an antibody that is supposed to have great results for triple negative, metastatic breast cancer.   This drug is so new that I have been informed that when I start it next week, I will be the first patient in my clinic to receive it.   I am hopeful, but from what I understand from my oncologist, it may be one of my last resources. The side effects are supposed to be tough so prayers that the drug is effective and that I experience minimal side effects.   The drugs I have been on since Feb have really affected my mobility, appetite, and overall functioning but I am trying really hard to...

Damn I’m Lit . . . just not in the way I like

Time for another update in this BS rollercoaster of being a cancer patient.   Back in November, literally the week of Thanksgiving, I felt some tiny lumps right next to my contralateral collar bone (the other collar bone on my right side that has never had or shown to have cancer). I freaked out, meet my oncologist, he says my blood work looks pristine and those lumps feel like an injury.   I hurried my happy little butt home and enjoyed the holiday.   Well over the next few weeks I felt like they started to grow. Then over my international honeymoon, as far as I could be from that damn hospital, the lumps in my collarbone grew and I actually had two lumps that felt like hematomas pop up on my torso.   Luckily the week after we got back I had appointments already in the book with every one of my doctors, including scans, and the results were truly devastating.   My scan was lit like a Christmas tree.   The cancer was never gone from my...
