Dry frizzy hair due to MBC medication,
I’ve been on Ibrance and Faslodex for 4-1/2 years. Although I’m thankful that the meds have helped me so far, I would like to know if anyone has found a good shampoo and conditioner to help with dry, straight and frizzy hair, My old shiny and wavy hair changed significantly since start of MBC drugs

What You Wish You Knew About Breast Cancer Once you receive a breast cancer diagnosis, a million things run through your mind. One of the big things is how much you don’t know before getting caught in the cyclone of treatment with no time to process until you’ve entered the survivorship stage. This

ibrance/letrozole - when did tumor shrink?
For those of you taking ibrance and letrozole, when did you notice a reduction in your breast lump? When you first started on the meds, how long did it take before you noticed things were changing and tumor started shrinking?

Xeloda Anxiety
I was supposed to begin Xeloda today. For some reason, I am paranoid. First, I'm thinking my dose is too high. I weigh 168 pounds, 5’4” and my team has me scheduled to take 2000 mg twice a day. I think that’s a lot. Anyone else similar in size to me taking this high of a dose? Am I just paranoid. I

What after Xeloda
Please suggest further therapies for my mother's mbc. Bone and liver metastases. Biopsy of metastases was not done. First diagnose, 2010. 5 years ago relapse: er+, pr 0, her2 2+ (sish negative), pik3ca no mutation, BRCA1/2 test - we are waiting for the result. Therapies until now: letrozole, tamoxifen

Anybody with good results on Xeloda?
I was on Ibrance and Letrozole, then Verzenio and Faslodex and then Orserdu. Since Orserdu now failed, the next plan is Xeloda. I read here some reports about some bad side effects. My oncologist at Dana Farber gave me some choices and indicated that in my situation, Xeloda might be best. The

Possible Progression
Good morning my beautiful thrivers! For the last 2 years I have been bone only Mets with reoccurring masses in my right breast chest wall. I had a CT scan yesterday which shows a new liver lesion measuring 2.6 cm. Everything else is stable. Including tumor markers and bloodwork. I have been on Ibrance

Ibrance/Letrozole Fail
Been through the wringer and back over the past month. Scans showed progression. Had bone only mets and now showing inflammation in my lungs. Had more scans and genomic testing for mutations and it turns out I have no mutations that have been studied yet. My oncologist is putting me on Xeloda and says

Blood biopsy
My last PET scan showed progression in my T1, manumbrium (top part of the sternum) and in my pelvis. My oncologist ordered a blood biopsy and the results show that there is no treatment for my mutations. So I had 5 sessions of radiation, each time treating all 3 of my lesions. She is keeping me on

TruQap progress-lower TM
I posted about beginning this newly approved FDA drug in December. My blood tests last week showed that my TM dropped by 135 points. This is added to the Fulvestrant jabs I started around spring 2023. The combination seems to be going well so far. I was previously on Ibrance for several years until

At a crossroad! My liver biopsy last November came back that my cancer mutated from HER2 low to HER2+. I have started THP because of it. I saw my MO yesterday who told me that my molecular study is not showing the HER2. So I have 2 contradictory tests! She also said she presented my case to the

Staying on Ibrance & Anastrozole after 2 recurrences
I’ve been on Ibrance and Anastrozole for the last 6 years for metastatic endometrial cancer. I started out on the Ibrance125 mg and after a couple of years, had a problem recovering on the week off, so my dose was reduced to 100 mg. By spring this year, the counts could not recover on the week off,

Update – surgery tomorrow, then on to Xeloda
Hello all – hope that the new year is finding you all on a good journey to healing and wellness. I unfortunately have been in and out of the hospital for 21 days with seven new MRIs as they are trying to discover the root cause of my back pain and inability to walk. In addition to the extensive bone

bumped up moms scans
So I had shared that her markers had went up last week. When she had the progression in July she also had a plural effusion. Which she’s had drained only twice in 6 months. But her ribs have started being sore. So she goes into tomorrow for ultra sound to see if the fluid has built back up. So her
