Viral Meningitis infection - how long will the symptoms last?
I was rushed to A+E 3 weeks ago with a suspected bleed on the brain, after a stay in hospital and multiple tests - Drs told me I had a Viral Meningitis infection, once my hydration had been topped up I was sent home with little information, other than I should make a recovery in 7-10days, after talking

Breast pain
I occasionally have breast pain after a double mastectomy, 8 chemo treatments and 30 radiation treatments. I am now on Ibrance and Femara. I also had 16 lymph nodes removed on the side which had the cancer. Is it common to experience breast pain and what causes it? Just had a PET scan with good results

Has anyone had their CEA levels tested as a tumor marker?
My mom used to have her ca 27.29 and ca 15-3 but her new oncologist tested something called Carcinoembryonic Antigen. It strangely was in the normal range when her 27.29 two weeks ago was very high at 83. Thanks

5 year Survivor
Hi, my name is Lana. October 6th was my 5 year in remission. And I was allowed to stop all hormone treatment letrozole and lupron shot. Still waiting for my ovaries to wake back up though so I can try for my first baby. Does anyone have any experience about the period coming back after breast cancer

Hello Ladies, I went to see my Onc Friday. I'm currently on iBrance and Faslodex but she said I tested positive for the PIK3CA mutation and she may put me on Piqray and Faslodex in the next several months. I just have one month under my belt currently with iBrance and Faslodex. I have little dots

Newly diagnosed with a return of breast cancer after four years. I have stage 4 breast cancer and am on Verzenio. Feeling pretty isolated.
Hello. I’m a Her 2 positive cancer survivor from 2016. In September during a routine six month follow up my Oncologist found 6 lymph and one met on my back T11 and I had my first chemo two weeks later. After further testing my Her 2 had changed to negative. The chemo was much stronger than the targeted

Xeloda and blood tests.
Hi everyone I had a problem getting my xeloda tablets as it was nine days since I had a blood test. They told me that it has to be closer to giving me the tablets so I couldn’t have them until I’d had a more recent test done. Is anyone else in the UK experiencing this on the NHS? I thought 9 days was

Xeloda - first cycle
Hi I’ve taken Xeloda for two weeks and I am now in the middle of my week off. I’ve felt ok, just a little bit more tired and my palms of my hands are very dry and flaky... this could however be due to using antibacterial gel .... I’m due bloods on Thursday and hoping to start my 2nd cycle on Friday

Do’s and Dont’s after FET?
Hey everyone, This is a really random post so I apologise in advance, but I’m looking for some reassurance and advice on what you can and can’t do during the TWW following an FET. My FET is scheduled for Tuesday! I usually walk about 15,000 steps a day, moderate pace. Can I still do that after the first

Phew!! That wasn't so bad lol.
Consultation with GP and Paramedic done this morning. GP says from my symptoms I am very likely to be anemic due to how much blood I've lost and have an infection. Bloods taken and a good check up and will know for definite tomorrow. She's putting me on a fruit juice supplement as I hardly eat and am

Ibrance changed to Faslodex
Ibrance has failed so I'm being switched to Faslodex. What is your experience with the side effects of Faslodex? More physical pain? Fatigue? I'm not sure what to expect after reading all the "possible" side effects. Anja

Latest appointment - possible genetic sequencing
I had my latest oncology telephone appointment on Tuesday. Letrozole, which had kept me stable for 2 years, stopped working earlier this year, & I've been taking Megace since August. There's little change on my latest scan, so I'm continuing to take it for now. After some discussion on my future,

Oncotype Score 21, Arm Stretches, and Cold Caps
Hi all. This group has been very helpful and comforting. As it turns out, my oncotype score for early detected stage 1 BC was 21, and Chemo can help out in the long run (6.5% better outcomes than with only hormone therapy). I am wavering on the decision, mostly because I dread chemo. Working up
