Update on MRI/CT scans: Trying to be strong 💪🏽 !

[Hotlantaphatz]

Hi MBC Chics! This chic has been trying to wrap my head around it all. Liver met (one tumor) has increased in size a bit. Cancer in the pleural cavity around the right lung is thickening. So changing from Ibrance to Affinitor ( a chemo drug pill 💊) with the Faslodex injections 💉 with the hope to stop 🛑 or slow progression. I am staying strong 💪🏽 and thankful because there is a treatment plan.

I have been feeling a bit funky (depressed) but maintaining my routines and trying to stay active. I will keep you all posted on status with the new treatment plan.

If you have feedback 😊 or 😞 on Affinitor let me hear from you. Thank you all for your concern. Stay strong!X

Onto the next steps chic. There is a plan, you are allowed to be despondent but do not live there. The routines you have will eventually help and if you need to talk, this Tallahassee chic is right here. Sometimes I need a voice not texts. My prayer is strength for you and mental clarity, this rollercoaster we are on is real.

Hi brave lady, there is a Facebook group called Affinitor/Everolimus for MBC which might be worth joining, there are lots of tips on there as well as some success stories. I joined when I thought I was going to be moved to Everolimus and Exemestane but the doc decided I needed chemo so I am on Capecitabine/Xeloda since the end of July.

Good luck and hope this works well for you.

I had bilat mastectomy with 5 months of ACT chemo and 28 days of radiation in 2008/2009 followed by 10 years of tamoxifen thru 2019. MBC diagnosed in 12/2021. Started faslodex shots and Ibrance in 2/2022. I would rather go thru chemo again than what I am on now but would never go thru radiation again. The burns under my armpits were the worst thing ever. The side effects of MBC drugs are worse than the chemo but that is no longer available for some reason. Just had my 9th set of shots 3 days ago and I have such pain in my butt since that I am very grumpy today. I am sure chemo , radiation and MBC treatments are different for everyone so you have to try anything you can and see how it effects you. I wish you an easy treatment process in whatever you choose.
