Update on breast pain with PMR
Thought I would let you know how I got on at the breast clinic, after having so many kind messages on my previous thread. It was a harrowing couple of hours at the hospital this morning, but the good news is that all is well. The mammogram that was done 2 weeks ago showed an area of concern, which

Xeloda and Afinitor in lieu of Piqray
Hi everybody-had a horrible go with Piqray and the oncologist has taken me off but given me no alternative or solution. In seeking out a second opinion I’ve been told to inquire about Xeloda and Afinitor. Just curious if anyone has experience with these as they don’t specifically target the PIK3CA gene

Groin pain
I had intense radiation therapy 6 months ago and all seems to be going well; however, a dull pain (sometimes pretty intense) has developed in my right groin. I can’t think of any way that I might have injured this area, and I’m wondering if there is any correlation with my treatment.

Treatment of Paediatric Brain Cancer with T3?
Report of an interesting study where T3 (liothyronine) was used to treat mice with medulloblastoma. The treatment reprogrammed the cells so they became normal rather than cancerous. The study is described here https://www.foxchase.org/news/2023-04-17-study-finds-thyroid-drug-normalizes-tumor-cells-in-pediatric-brain-cancer

Iodine avidity in papillary and poorly differentiated thyroid cancer is predicted by immunohistochemical and molecular work-up
In order for radio-iodine treatment to work, the radioactive iodine has to be taken into the target tissue. "Avidity" is how strong the uptake of iodine into the tissue is. The higher the avidity, the better at absorbing iodine, and the more likely the treatment is to be successful. Hence understanding

Cancer breakthrough as groundbreaking pill found to ‘kill tumours’
Scientists at a leading US hospital have developed a “cancer-killing pill” that kills solid tumours through “targeted chemotherapy.” Likened to a “snowstorm that closes a key airline hub, shutting down all flights in and out only in planes carrying cancer cells”, the protein was developed by a research

*colonoscopy update*
i just wanted to come on here and update on my colonoscopy results. I posted in here a month or so ago stating I had blood in my stool and pressure in my rectum. I finally decided to get the colonoscopy and he found a 2cm polyp. My doctor kept telling me he was not worried at all. Can they tell by looking

Hi At age 32 I had a triple negative tumour removed (lumpectomy) followed by chemo and radiotherapy. Fast forward 31 years I have just had a mastectomy after I had an oestrogen positive tumour. No chemo needed-phew! The op was 3 weeks ago & I still have a large haematoma that has already been drained

Must manage your own healthcare
Hi everyone! I’m Jennifer. Found my breast cancer because God gave me an itch right on top of my tumor. It was 26mm and not seen on the 3D mammogram. I now tell everyone I know that women cannot rely on mammograms to find breast cancer. Must do regular self exams. Had double mastectomy and found macrometatastisis

Complex ovarian cyst surgery
I have had this complex 2 cm cyst on my left ovary for 14 years now. It was under observation with periodic ulatrasounds. Now as I’ve entered menopause last year, I really think that surgery is my best option. I don’t have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, but there were other cancers on

Recent diagnosis of Ductal Invasive Breast Cancer
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with Ductal Invasive BC on the 11th July 2023. The lump was spotted on a CT scan which I had on the 5th June this year for an unrelated matter. I was lucky that it was picked up. I was referred to the Breast clinic for a mammogram on the 20th June which resulted in several

Starting again after cancer....
So, graduation day was Feb 24, 2020. After which I ran and ran, got up to 3 half marathons. This January - diagnosis of cancer. Now it's almost August, and I have completed my treatments of Chemo and Radiotherapy. I am down to 12 stone from 14+. I am also still weak as a kitten, suffering
