At 39, Holley was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She had a double mastectomy as a part of her treatment, but then a year later, her cancer came back — as metastatic breast cancer in her spine and bones.
Holley was floored. "Before I became a stage 4 breast cancer patient I didn't know anything about the disease," she told BuzzFeed Life.
Which is why, says Holley, "I felt the calling to spread the real facts. I want to educate people about it."

So she decided to make a video about her experience. To date, it has nearly 1.5 million views.
According to the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network, "there are no definitive prognostic statistics for metastatic breast cancer. Every patient and their disease is unique."
