Breast cancer in stomach

[LIMEHOUSE3]

I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer in the stomach and bones. I had breast cancer 13 years ago and had a mastectomy, plus lymphnodes removed and a reconstruction done. After all this time I have two breast cancer growths opposite one another in the stomach affecting my food intake. I have been put on instance 125mg and letrozole. Only on my second course and my blood count is low. Also ask me to have a dental checkup before having a bone strengthening injection. Has anyone else got the same sort of cancer.

Thanks

Welcome to the group. Sorry you have cancer. I too was taking Ibrance 100mg letrizole and the monthly injection of xgeva. Breast cancer to bones. You will feel better when meds get a chance to work. Feel free to ask questions someone will answer. Feel better.

I had mets to my stomach as well. Chemo didn't help so I did radiation

How did the radiotherapy go, did it make a difference. Did chemo not shrink them or are you still taking inbrance. This is only my second round. I have got a CT scan in two weeks, I assume to see if anything is happening. Do you have problems eating, I find I can only eat small amounts. Hope your doing ok.

Radiotherapy worked. Chemo did not ( Taxol, Herceptin and Perjeta- I never had ibrance). I do have problems eating which may or not be related. Having an endoscopy today to see if we can find an answer. Hope this helps you.

Hi, how did you get on with your endoscope.. Haven't seen any from you on here since then.
