Update, MRI Brain
Hi everyone, Last Wednesday I had the MRI of my brain after a head CT had shown some enhancements. Well today I had a call and it has confirmed these enhancements are brain metastases, some are calcified with scar tissue so they must have been there for some time and responded to treatments I've had

To start ibrance or not?

Her CA 27.29 markers have dropped from 55 to 34, however her oncologist still wants her to start Ibrance in addition to the fulvestrant she is on. We are on the conservative side and would like to just stick with fulvestrant if we

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
Hi, Has anyone had this? I had HA two years ago, on meds. Earlier this year thought I had Shingles, progressed to looking like Chicken Pox, although I’ve had Chicken Pox and apparently you can’t have it twice. Rash increased until I was blue lighted from gp surgery last week. Apparently it can be a reaction

Just some info....
I know this isn’t a cancer site, but I have fibromyalgia, crohns, cyclic vomiting syndrome (that ones realllly fun!) among many other medical issues one was breast cancer. I’ve recently found out about the class action suit against Zantac for knowingly providing meds with known cancer causing properties

Post op tips?
Hi everyone! I had my first laparoscopy 11 days ago, which finally confirmed endometriosis (it’s been 13 years of being shrugged off!) It was absolutely everywhere — bowel, bladder, fallopian tubes, chocolate cysts on my ovaries, and also DIE on my appendix (so had that removed!). The surgeon said he

DEALING WITH FATIGUE
How do you deal with the fatigue from treatment? You know the kind when no matter how much sleep you have, you still feel tired, but not tired in a way more sleep would help. I'm sure this question's come up multiple times but I could use some help. I'm currently on Xeloda and doing well, except
