Weight loss
I have lost almost 45 lbs since April- mostly due to constant nausea. Any advice on how/ what to eat to increase calorie intake - I’m starting to look anorexic and although always on slimmer side, this is getting scary 😕 MBC dx last November and have been on Ibrance / faslodex since January. 8 Mets

Risk of infection
I'm taking Ibrance 125, faslodex and Denosomab and I'm a bit confused about its effect on my immune system, so I'm hoping that you may be able to help. My job involves working in a crowded office and attending meetings where there are members of the public. The breast care nurse has told me that I need

Radiotherapy dilemma
Hi, I've recently had a mastectomy and reconstruction with an implant after being diagnosed with DCIS. I've now been recommended to have radiotherapy treatment and concerned about the risk of lung cancer and the destruction of the implant. Is there anyone who has similar concerns? Really not sure whether

Knee, foot and joint pain on Ibrance, Faslodex and Xgeva
So, I'm on 75 mg. of Ibrance, monthly Faslodex and every 8 weeks on Xgeva for about 6 months now. Last scans (after 3 mths on this regimen) showed full treatment response, which is fantastic and I'm grateful! Now, I'm having patella knee pain and foot pain and other random joint pains. The knee stuff

Is it all really worth it?
I suffer from severe panic disorder with a side of social anxiety and depression and I’ve just torn my acl in my right knee, so now I’m on bed rest - I’m also being tested for bechets disease. Some days are ok, but some...like today...is it really worth it? My friends have disappeared and my parents

Concern about another cancer
On trial of Ibrutinib and venetoclax for 3 months. Very concerned because I got called to have a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound after my routine mammogram. Is it common to have another cancer with Cll. Thank you
