Being diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer shortly after giving birth to her second daughter, Keely was not only juggling the challenges of chemotherapy, being postpartum, and taking care of her newborn and a 4-year-old but also facing confusing test results.
‘The PET scans after finishing rounds of chemo were very confusing. All these things were showing up throughout my bones, and the activity in my lungs had gotten worse. My primary tumour, all the activity in my breast and lymph nodes on that side, was completely gone. We were all really, really confused.
‘But it also meant that my mastectomy was cancelled. Being offered a mastectomy meant I was savable. But now it’s being put on hold, so maybe I wasn't? I was devastated.’
Update: In January 2024, Keely discovered that her triple-negative breast cancer had returned, this time to her brain. It is now classified as metastatic, placing her cancer into the ‘incurable’ category. Despite the classification, there are many maintenance treatments available to help Keely enjoy life with her family for as long as possible. Unfortunately, the recommended treatment is not currently listed on the PBS.
Keely’s friend, Sarah, has set up a GoFundMe on her behalf. You can read more about Keely’s update and make a donation here: www.gofundme.c...
----------
‘Beyond the Diagnosis: Confronting Triple-Negative Breast Cancer’ unfolds as a 3-part documentary series by Pink Hope, sharing the compelling stories of Keely, Rhiannon, and Susan, all navigating the challenges of triple-negative breast cancer.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for approximately 15% of all breast cancer diagnoses in Australia each year. This aggressive form of cancer predominantly affects younger women, resulting in poorer clinical outcomes, including higher relapse rates and lower survival rates.
By giving a voice to these patients and sharing their lived experiences, this documentary series serves as a call to action, advocating for early detection, better support, further research, and medical advancements for triple-negative breast cancer with Australian political decision-makers.

A very sad update, our dear Keely passed away peacefully last Sunday morning. I would like to thank you all for such generous contributions to Keely’s treatment goal. We now plan to put this money into a trust for our young daughters ❤️ Josh, Polly and Tottie.
Just saw this update on the fundraising website
I am so very sorry! This is the 1st I saw her story xo lots of prayers and love to you and your babies ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️💓
I am devastated to hear that news Josh. What a heartbreaking outcome for you and your family. Keely was beyond brave and such a remarkable young woman. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Deb
😢❤️
I just watched this video and was very happy to know she had a good prognosis. I’m so sad to know she died. 💔
So so sorry!
My daughter had metastatic breast cancer. She passed away three years after diagnosis. I am so happy for you. Any survivor of this disease is a blessing. God bless you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss
She passed away sadly
I am 58; at 55 I was diagnosed with triple negative, stage 1. I am BRACA negative but breast cancer does run in my family. I opted for double mastectomy and chemotherapy but no radiation. I am 3 yrs out; so far so good. Hope you have remained well and are enjoying your children growing up.
Your story is my story. Twelve years out and doing well. 😊
Am bustling triple negative b c . Be had Chemo 8 mastectomy radiotherapy. It didn't go away, am back on oral chemo. It's not easy but hinging on the Lord to heal me. Just trust in God and take ur meds all will be well
I had triple neg breastcancer, when I was 36 and my child 3. My lympgnodes at my mammaria interna were full of cancer. It has been 20 years this february... It was hard, but I am cancerfree and happy to be alive!❤
Thank you, Keely, for allowing us into your world with such vulnerability and courage. Your frustration towards uncertainty made my heart ache, but your strength and resilience inspired me deeply. Cancer is relentless, and Keely’s story showed how much more so TNBC can be. Rewatching this multiple times now still moves me in ways I can hardly put into words. x
How horrible.
Me too 😢
I was diagnosed 10 yrs ago with triple negative breast cancer, i had aggressive treatment as BC ran in my family. So, I had bilateral mastectomies with reconstruction and chemotherapy . My lymph nodes were negative. I was extremely lucky. I am still here, and so far, there is no reoccurance. Continue to be fierce and fight like health. You are in my prayers
She passed away yesterday
@snowbird6855 Aw, I am so very sorry. Prayers for her family and children.
I hope for nothing but the best for you and your lovley family xxx

This is absolutely amazing Keely. I am so thrilled for you all. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are very brave and courageous.💕❤️🙏
She passed away. Her husband left notice.
Oh my… I was so positively surprised this story has a happy ending. Then I click on the gofund me link to find out her cancer has returned and she very recently passed away. I am praying for her beautiful family. They would have deserved so much better. Cancer is so incredibly cruel and unfair.
Oh no!! 😔 😢
I don’t understand why she didn’t took out her breast has soon has she was diagnosted with BCRA? I have that gene and other friends too and we all had double mastectomie
RIP Keely
I have seen a lot of videos from doctors here on RUclips explaining how to starve Cancer.I wish you all the best God bless you
You are beautiful Keely. I am an eleven year survivor of same cancer. Live your best life girl.💖💗💖
Sadly she passed away
I'm so very happy for you. I hope the rest of your journey continues to be as healthy and happy as you look right now.❤❤
My condolences to family R.I.P keely
I can;t believe that they were so lackadaisical with you having a known BRCA mutation. Unfortunately you were at an 80% risk of breast cancer and especially triple negative.
In Caucasian women, my research indicates that only 10-15% of triple-negative breast cancers are in Brca1 mutated women. (In Black women, 25-30% of triple negative BC is in Brca1 mutated women.). Brca-1 mutations increase a woman's risk of some type of highly aggressive ductal carcinoma, not necessarily triple negative, by 80%. The Brca 1 mutation also increase a woman's ovarian cancer risk, by 55%. If I were this young woman, I think I'd have surgery to remove my ovaries, fallopian tubes,, and uterus, as a prevention against further cancers.
@@anglophils645 BRCA1 is overrepresented in triple negative breast cancer. This is illustrated if think of how few women allegedly have BRCA1 (1 in 400) that small group can represent 10-15% or higher of those with TNBC. Absent a known mutation, just having TNBC is enough of a red flag to merit genetic testing. Invasive ductal carcinoma risk (whether TNBC or hormone expressed) is up to 80%. I mostly agree with the comments on OC and the recommendation is to remove at least her ovaries and fallopian tubes by age 40, or after completion of childbearing. Definitely a discussion is merited on the benefits and risks of a hysterectomy and some may join a clinical trial for removal of fallopian tubes only.
My thoughts exactly - how on earth was a new mother left with a tumour growing from marble to golfball size and nobody is shouting for action?? Doesn't make any sense especially with her predisposition to cancer. Just too upsetting.
@@katytaylor681 outrageous totally agree ...well you know what it is it's public healthcare or whatever they call it it's not private insurance not that that's always great either
I can’t believe her Doctor didn’t do an immediate biopsy when the lump was first found.
Shocking really but not surprising. A BRACA positive woman, just being ignored. Such a shame.
So so sorry for this loss! 💕
Sorry for what you went through, but so happy for you with your great diagnosis ❤🙏

Praying for you and your family. You are so strong and positive.God Bless you ❤️
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL NEWS. I’m so happy for you all. 🥳🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m praying for healing for you.
Major mistake, listening to your doctor and not insisting on mammogram that day . If you knew you had Braca-1, why???? I’m retired from a. Breast cancer center. Things like this make us crazy, especially in young woman. I lift you up and pray you can surmount this challenge 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m so happy for you 🥲
Dont be. It came back and in her brain. Shes now terminal!
Sending a lot of love and healing vibes
She is so adorable 🥰
I am extremely glad you got the complete response, but what were the spots on your lungs?
Whatever you do do not give up hope no matter what the doctors say they do not have all the answers God bless you and your family
She passed away
Beautiful brave family- I wish you all a wonderful, long happy geakthy life ❤❤❤
Gloryyyyyyyyyy hallelujah 🙌 love and blessings to you & your beautiful family!
Beautiful family. Gosh bless 🙏🙏♥️
All the best keely.
Wow , ❤ Congratulations , to you and family . ❤ Thank you God , so much ❤
I gotta touch myself everyday to make sure no cancer ♋
Thanks,never heard of this,maybe in the States this term is more used than in Europe it is rather confusing,because negative in medical terms is good news!But thanks anyhow
Triple Negative is basically the worst form of breast cancer. Very aggressive and very high risk of it metastasizing. For instance I had estrogen positive breast cancer. This means my cancer is estrogen fed so they could shut off my estrogen and hopefully keep it from returning. When your cancer is negative to hormones, it’s much harder to treat.
God bless you and your family ❤
How heartbreaking 😮😨😧😦😮😯😲🤯
Lump size of marble
I’m very happy for you!
Cute baby 🍼
Congratulations! Praise God 🙏
So much faith in these oncologists that are taught the wrong cause and treatment!
RIP.. how awful
Wonderfull result❤
Negative means no cancer ,benign and positive means malignant so cancer,can somebody explain 😢this triple negative breast cancer to me please
triple negative means that the cancer does not have hormone receptors, which means that it will not respond to hormone therapy or many conventional treatments. Its also a high grade cancer so its more aggressive.
It's called triple negative because the cancer is negative for:
1) estrogen,
2) progesterone, and
3) HER-2.
God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
Why couldn't they put you under for the bone biopsy
I 100% agree with you, but they don't.
Sympathies to her family for their loss. Per the godfundme, she passed away.
I wonder if she also underwent IVF treatment. Not many folks know or discuss it, fertility MDs included, but IVF has been known to light up very aggressive breast cancer. I realize the BRCA gene was likely the main driver of her demise though. 😢
she had tnbc so nothing to do with ivf
The music is too loud.
my waiting period of 2 weeks feels insane, they diagnosed malignant lung cancer, but pretty sure its in my brain and more and they set up a pet scan,,,,,,,,,2 weeks aftere the biopsy, why???????? why so slow to try and help me, they gave me a few pain pills, said try not to take them, my cancer hurts,,,,,,,,all in me,,,,,,why do they not care to help me,,,,,,26th i see the cancer care doc ,,,,,,,sheesh, to see his plan or any help....i need morphine and some help,
God loves you, we live in a broken world but He hears your crys and your life is In Jesus hands.
my bf has sarcoidosis, it is rare but not that rare, People do get it.
men can get breast cancer too, I don't understand why he is so ignorant about men's health. My bf had to get checked for breast cancer.
True.
I had the same tipe 😢😢😢😢
My beautiful 34yr old niece died with tnb
Praise God!
? God gave her cancer. You are praising him for that? That is cruel.

Did she get the jabs ?
What if she did? Hundreds of thousands of women (and some men) developed breast cancer before COVID-19 happened. This lovely young mother said that she learned she had the BRCA gene 10 years ago so, unfortunately, she had a dramatically higher chance of developing breast cancer.
Her case unfortunately sounds like a turbo cancer.
The mRNA is able to deactivate the genes that keep cancer in check.
I am very sorry for your loss.
It’s such a tragedy.
@@user-KL6370 Unless you have incontrovertible evidence that there is a direct connection between vaccinations and accelerated tumor growth in cancer patients with the BRCA gene and that this young woman even had the COVID vaccination, it's beyond insensitive to burden a mourning family with these comments. As a triple negative breast cancer survivor (almost 8 years so far), I know that this type of explosive tumor growth would periodically occur in women years before the COVID vaccination was available. Discussing "turbo cancers" and similar theories on an anti-vax thread is one thing. Interjecting those theories on posts that may be read by family and friends already tortured by a tragic loss is inappropriate.
I am going to recommend three books: “What Does It Take to Get Well” and “I Will Give You Back Your Health Again” both by Dr. Lorraine Day MD. And the book “Life, Cancer, and God” by Paula Black. Both of these authors had end stage breast cancer that they reversed naturally and went on to live long lives with no reoccurrence. God bless this woman on her path to healing and most importantly finding truth.
My wife had breast cancer and she lived well for about eight years using natural treatments. But then she did a tomography, which reactivated her cancer. She started using well-known medical treatments and died within a year.
Resist the unfounded statements of the doctors and understand that for a lot of them you are just a case that dies or lives, but for you it is essential to live. Fight calmly. Will be fine.
🩷🙏
Facts= god DOESNT exist!
Nobody asked for your beliefs here. You should instead be expressing your happiness and hope for her, not your negativity. Shameful
@@naomisgram1 happiness & hope? .. the cancer returned 3 months later and it's now in her brain and is categorized incurable & terminal. Should she be happy? .. quit your toxic positivity!
@@californiadoll6273 ok continue in your negativity, must be a terrible way to live
Aren't you just a little ray of sunshine.
very true.
Would have been nice to spotlight a 48 year old. No kids. BRAC negative but like everything they want young ppl to draw awareness to it. DO BETTER. I fought TNBC with no one with no loving husband. Not everyone is as lucky as her. Yet again single women are viewed as worthless!
Unfortunately she passed away.
God bless you and your family ❤ was diagnosed with right breast cancer , Her2 positive with estrogen positive 🥹
🙏🙏🙏🙏🤍❤️🤍🙏🙏❤️🤍🙏🙏
