Katie Thurston needs to get a new liver biopsy

It's been about a year and a half since being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and I've always wondered when will be the day that I stop talking about it. And technically I'll never stop talking about breast cancer. I think it's such an important topic especially for those of us who are under 40 and not being educated on how to self-advocate for breast health. I am looking forward to the day that I kind of just have like my routine down. My cancer care is just like maintenance in the background of my life. That day is not today because June 29th which will be three months since my double mastectomy will be the date of my liver biopsy. For a while I've actually had elevated liver enzymes. They can't figure it out. We actually had to pause my cancer meds for an extended period of time hoping that would help. It did not. So basically we're just kind of at a loss. We don't know. We don't know. And you would think a stage 4 diagnosis would be pretty intense but I will say when you're a cancer patient you're just looking for answers and you're ready to to pursue the solution to resolve the problem to the best of your ability right. Because we don't have an answer to my liver I full-on spiraled over the weekend about it. Also right about now is probably when I'd start getting emotional and crying on camera but I also did start my Wellbutrin journey just about two months ago. So yeah cancer care it's it's an ongoing thing for me and I'm I'm looking forward to you know the future of medicine and the future of you know evidence of disease and you know whatever vaccines are coming like I don't know. I just want to share a little update there. Like I said I really look forward to the day. I don't have to update you on my cancer stuff but it is ongoing. In the meantime though I'm living life as normal as I can. Jeff and I as some of you know bought a house that we are renovating although people are looking for updates for that. I don't have any yet. I don't have any because we don't have a permit yet but I know when the time comes I get to just distract myself with all house stuff so that'll be nice. And then also Jeff's Netflix special came out so if you haven't watched that please do. It was number three in Canada and number four in the U.S. which is very exciting very proud of him. So yeah there's my life updates for now and I will continue to keep you posted and teach you all the things that I continue to learn.
