If it went to my brain, it’s breast cancer. If it went to my liver, it’s still breast cancer. Now it’s on my spine.

“Mr. Marcus, you have kidney, lung, and brain cancer. Stage 4. We are going to monitor you for the next 24 hours but there is not much we can do for you here. You need to go home and start making arrangements. At most, you have two years to live.”

I was a 54-year-old lady when I went for my first mammogram, and it came back positive for estrogen-fed breast cancer. Scans showed it had already gone to my spine, my chest cavity, then it started a mass in my arm.
