Well I went to the Hospital today. I was worried about the Herceptin but it wasn’t just the that, I have been dizzy and short of breath. I called my oncologist to see what I needed to do. They told me to go to the hospital the doctor at the hospital told me the shortness of breath was not just that it was also confusion.
Anyway the cancer has spread to my head, I am having a hard time writing this because it’s hard. So it’s not just the Herceptin. Good luck to you
EvaL, I'm sorry to hear this but I am so relieved you went to the hospital . I do know a few ladies that have fought breast cancer to the brain and are now doing fine . Please let us know when you start new treatment and how you are doing . Sending you love and prayers !
wishing you all the best in your treatment options.
I’m so sorry to hear that your cancer has found it’s way to your brain. My oncologist says that its very treatable there. I feel for you, and with you. I just got confirmation today that my cancer spread to my stomach and colon. Such an awful disease. We must keep on fighting, get back up every time we get knocked down. You are in a good place, the hospital will help come up with a good treatment plan. In the meantime rest if you can. Wishing you healing and sending good thoughts your way, take care!
try to rest is right!
I have had cyberknife rwice and now might be facing whole brain sparing radiation. Xeloda is one of the drugs that gets through the blood brain barrier a bit more than others. This can help clear up areas or keep them small. My lumbar puncture came back negative. I statred Xeloda after Ibrance 2 years, Piqray which I was resistant too, Taxol 5 cycles due to liver involvements and now Xeloda.
Now watch the resesrch. The UK resesrchers just found the protein that helps cells metastasize. After more resesrch they think they can repurpose the meds available to stop metastasis. Fingers across for a sense of urgency.
Damn, sorry to hear what you're going through. Stick in there, they'll get it under control. Wishing you all the very best x
Try to stay positive and take advice and treatment offered. I wish you luck. Big hugs. X
Sorry to hear your results but not to worry, they will be able to treat it. Good luck with your new treatment plan. Keep us posted.
Cheers, June S.
You are in my prayers, don’t ever give up, you keep fighting, I know this is scary and the worst news we all never want to hear but we have to take it one day at a time, they gave me 9 months 3 year’s ago, I am still here, so you keep fighting and staying strong, there are lot’s of prayers out here for you , stay strong 🙏
Sorry to hear about the spread. According to what I hear you may be able to fight the brain cancer better than somewhere else. Let us know what treatment options they give you.
Cyberknife and some meds break the blood brain barrier a little. Ibrance stopped my brain progression for 2 years, Taxol helped for awhile, and Xeloda has the ability to get into the brain a little to help reduce or control what is in the brain. Especially if you had prior radiation. Gets in better.
Thankful that you went to the hospital. Good luck with new treatment
Sending you love, hugs and will be hoping to see you keep us up to date if you can. If not…. don’t worry. Just look after you.
Prayers for you and wishing you luck on your treatment options 🙏
Oh Eval, my heart is with you. Thank goodness you are there in the hospital where they can find out what is going on and how to treat you best. Please keep us undated.
Namaste Sweet Sister
I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm glad you went to the hospital too to get your symptoms checked out and did not ignore them. I hope your doctor will have a good treatment plan for you. Try to stay strong and know that thoughts, prayers and hugs are being sent to you.
I am thinking of you and my wish is that you will find the right treatment and carry on with love surrounding you. God Bless
so sorry to hear this. Hopefully they will find the right treatment for you 💕
I am so sorry to read your note. I cannot imagine whar your are going through. Sending you strength! And hoping you find the next line of treatment that will zap it right out!
Short of breath could be chemo related. Or pleural effusion. Treatable. Cyberknife on the brain is successful I had it.
I am so sorry to hear that you are unwell and hope that you will feel better once they have a plan of attack. Let’s hope the new plan goes smoothly.
