just a quick one at the mo-
I have been treated for many years, and following my early
breast
cancer
in 2021, the subsequent aromatose inhibitor (to reduce the oestrogen levels in my body to help prevent recurrance) has played havoc with my BP, cholesterol and thyroid meds.

Mammagram recall
If it's
breast
cancer
what's the chances that it's been caught early if it's been 2 and a half years ? I know nobody can answer this question, I'm just having a panic and looking for similar stories Xx

Bad ct scan
Good morning Ladies, Does anyone have any information on pleural fluid in the lung? I’m currently on first line of RX for MBC in lung with faslodex. Scans are showing small pleural fluid and nodules, etc. I’m so scared! Any thoughts? Thanks, Susie

Advice for treatment of liver metastases.
Hi Ladies I finished chemo in February for second recurrence. Unfortunately my CA125 was rising, was 9 the 27 now 55 and it's a good indicator for me that something is happening. Had a CT and it shows one tumor 2.4cms in my liver. All clear otherwise. Lots of emotions. Disappointed but relieved it's

Besremi and thyroid
just seeing if anyone developed hypothyroidism after starting interferon. I know this can happen and can be a common occurrence with alpha or even beta interferon. I have no symptoms but they found it on my labs. My pcp just started thyroid replacement as this is pretty easy to manage once you get

I take 3000 a day and I weigh 135 lbs. My regime is 7 days on and 7 days off. However I started with 3500 and that really affected my hands and they lowered my dosage. I am still having challenges with my hands but it’s not bad. They get extremely dry and crack, so I try to keep them moisturized

Advice? Anyone taking Herceptin Perjeta and Faslodex? And bye Ibrance
Hi everyone. My onc switched me off ibrance and Exemastane bc initial breast tumor is growing and has become resistant to these meds. I knew like all of us here that first line of treatment would end sometime (almost 4 years) but I’m really nervous about this new normal I’m entering into with 3 week

QOL - a verse
Another piece I wrote post RRP, as I was also a caregiver to my wife who was deep in treatment for
Breast
Cancer
. Was tough on us both at that time. TOGETHER Endless days of fear and Endless nights of worry.

NGS Test/Next-Generation Sequencing Important to have done.
Hello friends. I just wanted to make sure that if you are able to have this testing done, it is really important for your health and treatments that are given for your TYPE of BC. I was dx in 2016 and MBC in 2019. Ibrance and Fasoldex lated aobut 2 years. I was and still am ER/PR + and HER2low, but

Has anyone been taking Verzenio for more than 2 years?
I was diagnosed with ILC stage 3, HER2 negative, ER positive, PR positive in November 2020. I had a mastectomy, chemo and radiatin and my scans showed no further evidence of cancer. I have been on anastrazole and in May 2021 I was started on Verzenio. They said it is only approved to be used for 2

exciting clinical trial
My very long time (20 years!) MBC changed from E+ to triple negative a few months ago and yesterday I was looking on line for clinical trials for TNBC and found one that looks exciting to me, whether I qualify for it or not. It's sponsored by Lyell Immunopharma and targets CAR T cells. I have no idea

Pretty in Pink-How Lucky am I?
I am so grateful for 3 close friends from my USA high schoolwho flew 24 hrs to visit me for a few weeks in New Zealand! We joined 50K others at last nights Pink Concert and it was really amazing! I was very anxious about needing to walk long distances because the roads around the large stadium were

Zometa side effects
Hello, My new oncologist prefers Zometa to Xgeva so I had my first infusion of this on Monday. Yesterday, Wednesday, was horrible, aches, bone pain, nausea, chills....really just awful all day. I can barely move this morning. Is this from the Zometa? Has anyone had these side effects? The new team

Radiotherapy
I was diagnosed with
breast
cancer
back in May. I had the carcinoma which was about 5mm removed. Some adjuvant tissue tested positive and I am being treated with Letrozole. I start a course of radiotherapy on Monday (31st July). I have a very dry sore mouth and eyes and painful joints.

Anyone? 😁
LOL I’m popping on here, again, for your honest opinion and advice. I have been OFF all forms of treatment since the beginning of January (when I was told there was evidence that Ibrance and Anastrazole were failing). A brief stint with Xeloda (for 6 days...6 days of pure torture)…and to tell you

Good Bye Xeloda
Turns out all my anxiety over taking Xeloda was warranted (for me). I wanted to THANK all of you beautiful people who helped me through my decision. I appreciate ALL of you so much!! I ended up starting it last Wednesday and my doctor lowered my dose to start. She put me on 1500mg twice a day. I
