Leave tomorrow for 7 weeks in New Zealand! Feel feee to skip this depressing health update!
Hi gals, As I pack for my 7 week trip to New Zealand, I have understandable trepidation that I didn’t have this past September when I went to Auckland NZ for a whole month- all by myself. But with this trip, I’m still reeling from the recent news of spread all over the abdomen, now dealing with

Might rising tumor markers be caused by infection rather than metastatic cancer?
I had a 2 cm ductal cancer, and one sentinel node, estrogen+, progesterone+, her2-, removed by stereotactic radiosurgery last summer (2021) and now (late 2022) have rising CA 27-29 and CA 15-3 tumor markers, from the 40s to the 60s to most recently a bit over 100, with the CA 15-3 in the high 30s, but

xeloda or nothing?
My most recent scans showed progression. Neither of my oncologists are optimistic. I've exhausted all the IV chemotherapies. Oh, and I'm stage IV TNBC and have been for 11 years. It's been a long road. I thought I'd post to get some feedback. I've chosen not to do Piqray because of side effects. The

Lymphedema after mastectomy & sentinel node biopsy
Hello,I was wondering if anyone has experienced lymphedema in their arm 1 year + after a sentinel node biopsy. I had a hysterectomy procedure yesterday and they told me I can't have IV's, blood draws or blood pressure checks in my right arm because they removed lymph nodes. I had a colonoscopy in October

Recently Diagnosed with DCIS Breast Cancer
Hello All! I was recently diagnosed with Stage 0 Noninvasive DCIS breast cancer, my surgery is scheduled for the 29th, however, during the MRI (which the Surgeon wanted before surgery) they found something very small in the left breast, that will be biopsied on the 19th. I'm supposed to have surgery

Can a new drug mimic the effects of exercise on bone and muscle?
Looks like this is something we should look forward to and keep an eye out for approval. Researchers have recently discovered that a new drug called locamidazole may help to prevent loss of bone density and muscle mass during periods of inactivity, but it’s no substitute for all of the benefits of exercise

Swollen Lymph Nodes
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this journey: feeling fine, all blood numbers are great, so no treatment at this point although in December of 2021 a lymph node enlarged in my left groin and was excised surgically. Pathology was fine just an unknown infection. Now, a year later I have a tremendous

What is after Taxol?
Trying to get ahead of some decisions as it seems that I am a one year treatment gal...Ibrance - 1 year, Xeloda - 1 year, now Taxol seems to be giving up on me after a year too. Doc rattled off things like Gemzar and said that there were a lot of treatments that used to be only for triple negative that
