Major surgery and a Vasovagal event
I’ve been taking 5mg pred for a while. Reduced to 4.5 and after a few weeks began to feel unwell. I told my doctor who said go back on to 5mg. I then went into hospital last week. I had gluteal reconstructive surgery. The anaesthetist suggested I should increase my pred. So I did the sick day rule and

3 year rollercoaster
(Age35) Since then I have completed initial chemotherapy (AC &T), bilateral mastectomy, with
reconstruction
, 25 rounds of radiation to my left
breast
. Found out the cancer had spread to my brain (on my last day of radiation) at least 16 tumors, and lymph nodes in my chest.

delayed reconstruction
I had a subdural haemorrhage in may 2023 removing most of the right side of my scull even encroached my forehead that’s some 10 months ago now. I was supposed to receive reconstructive surgery and have titanium implant to protect the sensitive area where my skin is my only protection to my brain. That

Hormonal therapy ?
Hi, I was diagnosed with extended DCIS with ER+, PR+.I had a total mastectomy with a diep flap 2 weeks ago, My surgeon referred me to medical oncology for hormonal therapy. I am curious do I still need hormonal therapy as I already had a mastectomy, as far as cancer recurrence and preventing cancer

PMR AND ANASTROZOLE
I had an operation for
breast
cancer (Mastectomy with
reconstruction
) in mid December. Thankfully I don’t need any more treatment other than anti oestrogen tablets.

update after 2 yrs on Lynparza and looking for suggestions...
Hello, just wanted to provide an update after meeting my care team today after completing 2 years on Lynparza (after chemo and debulking surgery for hgs stg3b OC) 1. Ca125 very low, that's good. Rest blood parameters are as usual just below normal reference ranges (Rbc, wbc etc; platelets are good though

Rarely post, but try to read as often as I can. Hope to get the advice based on your experience. Based on my scans it looks that I have progression. New bone mets. TM are trending higher, but not significant. No mutations. I’m in US. I’m on palbo+letrozole for almost 4 years, but of course not

Stage 3 Breast Cancer
I discovered a lump in my breast, had an MRI, biopsy, several scans and was diagnosed with stage 3C breast cancer. Started Anastrazole and Ibrance. After 2 weeks was taken off the Ibrance because wbc dropped too low. After 2 weeks off my wbc was still too low so am hoping to start a lower dose of

Bisoporol instead of Tildiem
Hoping for some advice. My wife has HCM and has had an ablation a few years ago. Her Afib seemed to calm down but recently it has increased dramatically. The ablation was carried out in London and appointments were not too difficult to obtain. We now live in Gloucestershire and it seems that getting

Importance of CLL Specialist
This excellent study was just published. Why should you get a CLL specialist? My community oncologist gave me a fish and a flow test and told me that I wouldn’t need treatment for 3-5 years. He didn’t test for IGVH and didn’t know that there is a specific TP53 test. My CLL specialist tested for 500 mutations

Medicare- under 65
Good Morning Everyone, I am under 65 and will be eligible for Medicare in a few short months. I never thought I would get a Medicare card at the age of 51. Anyone out there under the age of 65 (taking Ibrance and Letrozole with Zolodex injections) that would be willing to share the supplemental coverage

How's Remission?
Hi friends, it's been awhile since I've posted here. I've been in remission for 3 and a half years. First treatment was Ibrutinib for one year then Obintuzimab and Veneteclax for 2 years. Just to give you an idea of what my treatment was. So my question is, if you too have been in remission, besides

update on switching to digoxin from lopressor
Stopped digoxin this am and starting back on lopressor. bad heartburn and nausea just kept getting worse. Lots of hydrating and will explore ablation. Really felt sick on digoxin. Although don't feel generally great this was really not a good experience.
