Routine mammograms while in W&W?
Hey, there, fellow cll-ers. I am in W&W, tho numbers spiked after vaccines (so will see in couple weeks how I'm doing now). My gynecologist recommends yearly mammogram -- had one last year, and was fine. She said yesterday she wants me to schedule another now, and I'm wondering. No special family

Exemestane and Everolimus and my Sunflowers
The side affects are getting to me now. Itchy face and a rash on my chest bone. Palpitations and a chesty cough. True to form according to the leaflet I was given explaining the drugs. It will never stop me doing things. We walked 4 miles again yesterday along the River Mersey. Tired when I got back

ErSO Let's bombard Bayer with messages to start trials!
Hi Dear Ladies I am reposting the below from over on Inspire... I just wrote a short message to the CEO of Bayer, maybe we can all do the same... Obviously if this drug works the way it purported to in animal trials, they stand to make big $$ so I doubt they will delay...even so, a bit of polite nudging

Good News after 8 months on Ibrance 125, fulvestrant and Xgeva.
Hi everyone Good news everything stable after latest scan and also oncologist happy that my pleural tumour has shrunk. She is leaving me to Feb 2022 for next scan. Lucky I’ve had minimum of side effects and able to work and play full time lol. I do think changing my diet has helped me to feel a lot

Cancer moved to bone marrow
Had my follow up visit today which started with doctor saying “good catch, I had missed that in your labs”. Tumor markers have been steadily going up for the last 9 months. Based on labs, it appears that cancer has moved to bone marrow or I’ve developed some other bone marrow disorder. Waiting to schedule

Post lap
Hi all! I am now officially one week post lap and excision, seem to be healing and recovering well. Just wondering, when does the tummy swelling start to go down? My tummy still feels swollen and bloated and I’m starting to wonder whether it’s swelling or weight gain from all the bed rest and carbs hahaha

How to approach GP for first time about diagnosis?
Hi, I first realised I might have lupus just before the pandemic broke, as such I have done nothing about it since but due to fatigue potentially affecting my employment I feel I need to do something. Over the past 15 years I have been to the doctor with a range of symptoms which include: hair loss

Who do you talk to?
Hey All, So my ranula turned into a plunging ranula (I think) but the GP has referred me for an expedited cancer check as the gland beneath is swollen too and he wants to make sure it's not cancer. I'm telling myself it's a plunging ranula for now as there is a tail and the gland hurts so all the symptoms

Evista to prevent recurrence of IDC?
I am 4 months after bilateral mastectomy for invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Have had 25 radiation treatments. Now considering Letrozole vs Tamoxifen vs Evista. Don't like the side effects of Letrozole or Tamoxifen. I favor Evista due to recent diagnosis of osteopenia. Has anyone else had experience
