Whiplash and Hope

While feeling pretty crappy after my first infusion of Enhertu, I came across a “positivity” social media campaign touting, among other things, that Stage IV metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a chronic disease and then listened to the memorial episode about the death of Natalia Green from MBC on the podcast OurMBCLife.
