Advice for treatment of liver metastases.
Hi Ladies I finished chemo in February for second recurrence. Unfortunately my CA125 was rising, was 9 the 27 now 55 and it's a good indicator for me that something is happening. Had a CT and it shows one tumor 2.4cms in my liver. All clear otherwise. Lots of emotions. Disappointed but relieved it's

Besremi and thyroid
just seeing if anyone developed hypothyroidism after starting interferon. I know this can happen and can be a common occurrence with alpha or even beta interferon. I have no symptoms but they found it on my labs. My pcp just started thyroid replacement as this is pretty easy to manage once you get

Vitamin D supplements and elevated blood work
here is my story and my question. Everything has been going well for me for about a year. Blood work stable, tumor marker test levels decreasing and stable scans. However, recently I was diagnosed with very low levels of vitamin D and began supplementation with 50,000 IU once a week. Since I misunderstood

Piqray fail-only Fulvestrant now?
Hello all. As a follow up to my original post, I finally got an answer today from my oncologist that because of my Piqray fail due to the extreme hyperglycemia and multiple adverse AEs, they are going to administer Fulvestrant only along with quarterly Zometa injections. I feel like this may be going

Xgeva dose
Initially when I was diagnosed with
metastatic

cancer
, I had Xgeva injections every 4 weeks. I had many, many, many sites on my bones! Three months after the initial diagnosis, I had NED.

IBrance Vacation?
I’ve been on IBrance 100 and Anastrozole for three years and my scans so far have shown stable disease. I’ve tried to stay active with golf and walking. We took a trip to Texas and it was go go go for a week, one can say I have nothing to complain about…however, my tumor markers have been rising for

low grade serous ovarian cancer
hello I’m new to the group but I was diagnosed with low grade ovarian cancer in October 2020 and have since had a radical hysterectomy in December 2020 followed by 6 rounds of chemo starting in June 2021 which didn’t remove all the cancer I was given a course of letrozole but this didn’t work for me.

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

Digoxin and Verapamil
Is there anyone on this site that takes Digoxin and Verapamil together? I have had persistant AF for about a year now and have had one failed cardioversion. I am now waiting for an ablation.My EP has tried various medications, some of which didn't agree with me. I have settled on Digoxin and Verapamil

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

I'm loving living in the Scottish Highlands with so much to explore.I've been stable for some time on letrozole and ibrance 125mg. I have a lovely oncologist in Inverness and support from the Macmillan

Mom doing great with Faslodex with trial med
Happy Friday everyone! My Mom had her second Faslodex injections yesterday and has almost no soreness at site. Yay! She is also very energetic and feels well. She’s thinks maybe the treatment is making her even more energetic than usual (she’s very active and a young 77yrs) lol 😆 She’s involved

CA 27-29 has your tumor marker test ever gone into normal range
Update to my last update: the people who ran my blood said they mixed up the vials of blood with another patient. They offered to retest me at no expense. I go in tomorrow for my bloodwork retest. I can’t imagine how often stuff like this happens and how often it goes unnoticed. It says Mayo Clinic
