My health has gone down dramatically in the past few weeks. The oncologist really wanted me to do beginning doses of Faslodex with or without Truqap ,yesterday. I have been asking for Truqap alone, for months now. My niece and husband took me in a wheelchair. The onc saw the reinforcements and folded to my wishes.

So far, I don't feel any differently. I am hoping that the three more daily does will not change the state of play. Then, beginning next Monday, the Truqap will be given with the start up doses of Faslodex. I am hopeful that things may turn around. I appreciate all of you/us. We are a force that informs us, supports us and gives us a soft and a loving landing. God bless each and every one of you. If this offends you as an agnostic or atheist, then I am sending you very sincerely healing energies. It's all good! XXX OOO

Dear Jersey,Prayers this works for you. I have not been on either. So far it's been Ibrance/Letrozole for me. Cancer is scary. I am lifting you up in prayers. God bless and best wishes. Hannah

Hi Darlin' I am on both @ MSK but don't have a scan until March so I don't know if they are working. I do feel great though. A little diarrhea that's it... but other side effects can be silent like glucose and liver enzymes etc. Why did your onc not want you on Truqap? So glad you are getting the treatment you want. God bless and positive science:) x

It is a favourite song of mine and I had just been listening to it before I came upon Health Unlocked. I had just been diagnosed with mbc and am not really sure why I used that. I think a God moment💕. I find so much support on here. Thanks for asking.

I am so very sorry you are going through all of this. I hope your treatments will work for you and not cause side effects. This disease is definitely a journey and it takes a village of hugs, positive thoughts and prayers to help us as we navigate this journey. Stay strong. Hugs and prayers.

Hi Jersey-jazz, perhaps I'm wrong but I felt like we had been on a similar run of drugs. It's disturbing when our health deteriorates quickly, I had that at the start of last year and, not so bad fortunately, but around September too. I do hope this new regiman works well for you and you can get back on your feet again.

I'm unsure why you didn't want to have the Faslodex? Either way, sending you love and healing thoughts!

best wishes that you enjoy some help and improvement with the drugs. While the drugs work their magic, the important part of your improvement comes from your mental well being. Must be a relief to have the meds and see how they work. May the journey be long!

Hoping this combo works well for you! Rub the Faslodex spots well so you don’t get painful lumps. Otherwise it should be fine. Good luck!
