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

Mastectomy questions
I am having a mastectomy in another 10 days on one side. with no reconstruction. Previously I had had a lumpectony, chemo and radiation 4 yrs ago, I'm just wondering how long the recovery period usually is and can you wear pullover shirts or do you need button down ones? Have people been restricted

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

Exemestane and Everolimus
Hi Ladies, I hope everything is calm with you all. This is a follow up to my last post and it would be great to know of side effects any of you have had being on this combination. As you know my medication of Pablociclib and Letrozole has stopped working now and I have a couple of new shadows showing

Metronomic Dosing of Xeloda (capecitabine) (cape) is working for now
My first line of treatment for bone only MBC was Kisqali and Letrozole for almost two years. I was NED for much of that time but then had mets to the peritoneal area. Started cape in Nov of 2020 at 4000 mg per day, 2 weeks on then a week off. That was way too much for my body as I had extreme fatigue

10 years of MBC- tumor markers creeping up.
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed Sept 22, 2011. Bones only. My first 4-5 years were pretty harsh. Avastin, Femara, Pamamidrate. After nearly dying, my oncologist just left me on Femara. Now my markers have been slowly increasing, the biggest this last test, every 4 months. They jumped 20 points. Now

When to take letrozole?
I started taking letrozole right before bedtime several weeks ago. I did this to avoid the dizziness that I had been sometimes during the day. But now I’m having hot flashes just about every night. Thinking I’ll go back to taking it in the morning when I get up. Would really appreciate your thoughts
