Please those who were given Xeloda for tumors in the liver that keep growing.
The tamoxifen and afinitor I was on for two months has done nothing. I had my CT scan six weeks early on Tuesday, read it on my portal on Wednesday and today met with my onco. She said the last option is Xeloda (capche.....(generic name). I told 8 pills, 4 twice a day for one week and then one week

CLL & Mastectomy / Implants
I'm wondering if anyone here with CLL/SLL has undergone a breast reduction or mastectomy since diagnosis. If so, were you on treatment or WW at time of surgery? If you were on treatment, did you have to stop for surgery? How was your healing? If you had a mastectomy, did you get implants after

Dental Care Issues
I have been on Ibrance and Femara for 2-1/2 years now. I am having gum problems but periodontist doesn't want to treat me because I am considered "high risk". I am also on Zometa bone infusion once every three months. It is so frustrating since I can't get gum treatment. Has anyone had this issue

New primary Breast Cancer! Grade three lobular triple negative! Unrelated to my MBC. Time frame for surgery?
I was diagnosed with de novo MBC in November 2018 and no lump was found. So started on Ibrance and Letrozole as my first line of treatment. I recently felt a large lump in my breast appear almost overnight and mentioned it at my oncology appointment a few weeks later. I was then booked in for a biopsy

starting Xeloda (capecitabine)
I’m looking for some “positive “ input from anyone who has been on Xeloda. Hopefully there is someone who can give me some insight in to what to expect. And how long you were on it. I have been on Ibrance (4 years) and Hormonal treatment for a total of 5 years. My last treatment was Tamoxifen. After

treatment change
For those of you that have lobular, what was your second line treatment after ibrance/letrezole or similar combo? My onco seems to be leaving it up to me on what treatment I want to try. Not sure if I go with a parp since I have brca 2 mutation or xeloda or afinitor plus aromasin? Do I go for a trial

Chest Compression from Breast Implants Worsening Pleural Effusions?
I was surprised I couldn’t find any studies released to this. Obviously breast implants will not generally be the cause of pleural effusions, but if you develop pleural effusions from other causes, I would think it’s at least plausible that implants in irradiated areas where you’ve lost skin elasticity

Good news about chemo - second hand
I know we all fear running out of options and having to go to chemo. That is how my oncologist presented it to me when I was first diagnosed with mbc. The hair loss, the nausea, the extended infusions. On the other hand, from everything I have read, it is most effective. There is a woman in my building

Nervous about Fulvestrant and Piqray treatment
Hi all! I just had my 2nd pet scan results back and it was not good. The report showed that I have increased metabolic activity in tumors on both sides and new mets are found in liver. I have been taking Tamoxifen and Kisqali for the past 6 months, and I thought things are going well until this pet

Hi, I had a single mastectomy in Feb 2022. I started Tamoxifen about 17 days ago. So far hot sweats. Most people I speak to don't have many side effects. i have lots of visits to the loo but no major diarrhoea. I wondered how others have got on and if and when side effects settled. I have IBS and

My aunt's de novo stage 4 breast cancer
Hello, ladies, Last month my aunt went for her annual mammogram and her doctor found a small lump in one of her breasts. He then sent her for a PET scan and we were terribly surprised by the results - 4 lumps in the breast, metastases in the lungs, multiple metastases in the bones. She'd been having

Too Much Sleep
Afternoon Ladies, I'm on Afinitor, Letrozole & Xgeva. I'm doing really well on this combo, as far as getting rid of the cancer, but quality of life...none. I literally sleep about 20-22 hours a day. I get up, I'm up about an hour and then all I want is to go back to sleep. I'm usually up for about an

encouraging words from oncologist
hi everyone! I think it would be a great time to share some encouraging words our oncologists have shared with us that maybe will help to inspire others. I think it can be very uplifting to read positives! My parent (ironically my father- men do get breast cancer!) was diagnosed with de novo stage

PET Results
After 2 PET scans showing no evidence of disease, the one I has last Thursday shows an uptake in one liver lesion. It grew from 0.8 cm to1.4 cm. I'm going to be having a biopsy of the lesion to see if the marker has changed form positive to negative, and MRI of my liver, and possibly Radio Frequency

Azoospermia straight to ICSI?
Hi, I hope everyone is doing okay with their fertility journeys. I wanted to ask if anyone has experience of fertility consultant moving straight to suggesting ICSI when azoospermia is not fully investigated? As soon as we had to sperm samples with zero sperm count, my husband and I went private for

Tumor Marker Confusion
Hi all!! Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Here's my question, has anyone had a rising and high CA 15-3 with a normal CEA marker test result? My CA 15-3 has been rising steadily for over 2 years. It never got to a normal level after starting treatment (Ibrance, Letrozole, Xgeva). Before any

I'm a Newbie and a Breast Cancer Survivor 😊
Hi everybody! I am a firm believer in the power of peer groups and I am sooo happy I found you! I was just diagnosed in late April and had a modified radical mastectomy (aka double mastectomy) May 25th of this year. With an absolute belief in faith and with the grace God, I think I've sailed through
