So sorry to hear. That’s just so sad. St. Margaret Hospital here in Toronto in the number 1 hospital in the world for breast cancer research!

I know people who have travelled around the world looking for a cure in Switzerland and Germany and those hospitals referred them right back here!

Good luck and much love,

Miriam

So sorry to hear that your sister is in the hospital in the serious condition. If possible, the 2nd opinion maybe helpful to provide other options. She is in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏

Did she get a brain MRI? If there are Mets in the brain, maybe taxol isn't enough because taxol doesn't really penetrate the blood-brain barrier. If only the skull Mets are causing the symptoms, taxol might be fine. Definitely get a second opinion!

My heart goes out to you, and your family. I hope/pray a trial, or some new drug will be available to kick C's butt 🙏 XoXoXo

It’s so upsetting we all know it hurts. I had taxol for treatment when I was first diagnosed and I had some of those same symptoms. Do you see the oncologist when she does? Maybe you both need to talk with the oncologist. Pain meds can help.

Keep trying.

We are all thinking of you.

Hello, I am sorry your sister is in such pain and with all those horrible symptoms. Have they suggested whole brain radiotherapy? That is a treatment option if she has got brain mets. I just finished five days of radiotherapy daily (two weeks ago). I am losing all my hair and have been sleepy with some headaches. But overall the side effects are not too bad. If it is mets in the brain that are causing her symptoms, then this is maybe another treatment option.

All the very best. My heart goes out to all of you.
