This is the most personal part of the site, and it's being written by someone who knows Miriam closely: who she is beyond cancer, what she did, and why she does what she does. It'll be ready very soon. Meanwhile, you can follow the day-to-day on her social channels or get to know the case in The science.
Three years ago, Miriam was working full-time as a software developer and creating content about technology. Within a matter of months, her life took a radical turn.
It all began with back pain, physiotherapy sessions and GPs who couldn't find a solution. As the pain persisted and she wasn't getting answers, she decided to arrange an MRI scan herself. One Thursday in January 2024, she found the test results in her inbox: “probable vertebral metastases”. A couple of weeks later, the definitive diagnosis arrived: “Stage IV breast cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation”.
For two years, Miriam has been rebuilding her life piece by piece with treatments that have given her time and peace of mind, but with an end date. In 2026, everything has moved forward at breakneck speed. What if these advances, combined with the specific nature of her cancer, opened doors that previously seemed closed?
In this story, we want to tell you about Miriam's case, her journey and her daily routine so that you can truly understand what it means to live with stage 4 cancer.
