Remembering TNBC Sister, Adriana Martinez Olsen...


"I appreciate you all for supporting me, being my cheerleaders, being the gals who share your journeys, hardships, tears and laughter morning, noon or in the middle of the night." - Adriana


Diagnosed 2009, TNBC Stage2.  Stage4, Recurrence to chest in December 2010. 
"I'm seriously a miracle because right about now, I wasn't supposed to be here... NED since Aug 31st of last year."  (June 2013)
Adriana remained "no evidence of disease" (NED) for 2+ years while doing Carbo/PARP trial. December 2013, diagnosed with brain mets.
March 2014- Cancer spreads and was taken off the Carbo/Parp trial after at least 44 treatments over the past 3 years since her original recurrence.
Sadly, Adriana Olsen, Age 36, passed away on April 13th, 2014. Us TNBC ladies have been hit with too much heartache these days, we will miss you Adriana.


Back from our trip. Saddened to hear of Janelle's news. 
This is for you gals, and especially for her. Lit a candle in Christ Church Cathedral in 
Dublin, wrote a prayer in the prayer book. Janelle, you are on my mind. 
I have a video of me lighting the candle that I will post on her page with a message. 
Peace and love
— at Christ Church Cathedral Dublin
