Start Xeloda today. Close on this house next week. I've lost my freakin mind!
First, thank you for all the sweet messages yesterday. You may have seen my post that my primary liver lesion doubled in size on everolimus/letrozole. I will be starting Xeloda today. Of course, being the negative Nellie I am, I'm already obsessing about the "what if this fails" scenario. One of the

On bone marrow biopsy (BMB)?
Hello everyone, People with PV/ET regularly (e.g., per month) test their blood to keep track of cell counts and other things. How about bone marrow biopsy (BMB)? Are there repeats of BMB test to check changes after the first one that was performed to detect any mutation like JK2 ? If yes, how the results

Oligometastisis? Cut it out!
Ppppopp brought up the issue of oligometastisis and the idea of removing it. My oncologist and I have briefly discussed removing a lesion on the liver that has been reduced to insignificance by Letrozole. I want it cut out with surgery with the hope that it wouldn't grow ,again. She says that that

Waiting for my scan this morning. Why am I such a pessimist?
90 days on everolimus and letrozole. Some side effects. Not terrible. But, the constant ache under my ribcage and heartburn/gastric issues have me very worried the liver lesions have increased. Wheezy breathing and a bit of a cough are also concerning. Bottom line, we know nothing until we have scan

Strange marks on breast
Hi hope your all keeping safe I had a lumpectomy for dcis in February/March followed by 1 week of intense radiotherapy ( because of covid 3 weeks of treatment was done in one) very sore for a few weeks after but all fine. Now 6 months on my breast feels so heavy and sore and what looks like orange peel

Toe issues
Does anyone else have issues with their toe nails? I’ve had two fall off and several are discolored like they are bruised. I will eventually lose them as well. I’ve been on faslodex and Ibrance for 16 months.

Mammogram Coming Soon for Mom...
Hello everyone, I hope you are all staying safe and doing well! It has been about 7 months since I last posted about my mom. My mom is 44 a dialysis patient, last year had a canceroid in the lung, it was a terrible time, but removed (no spread). This year she had a cancer tumor removed from her breast

PUPO - my first FET ✅
I had my transfer done yesterday. It is my first FET as I only had 2 fresh in the past. We decided to transfer 1 embryo 5AB that was hatching, our best graded embryo that is PGS tested. I was pleasantly surprised to see my embryo in a dish, my heart just melted. It is so, so small I was shocked! They

New here and Zometa ?
Hi! I'm 48 and was recently diagnosed with Stage IV MBC in March (amidst all this lovely Covid craziness). I'm currently on 100mg of Ibrance and 2.5 mg of Letrizole, and had ovaries removed in July to throw me into menopause which has been lovely. My Onc wants me to start Zometa infusions but I keep

Stage 1a triple negative breast cancer
I was diagnosed 1 1/2 years ago with stage 0 triple negative DCIS. I had a lumpectomy with sentinel lymph node removal. It turned out to be stage 1a triple negative breast cancer. The tumor was very tiny and my lymph nodes were clear. I also had 20 rounds of radiation treatment. My oncologist told me

Head pain
Hi! I’m a few weeks out of hospital after viral encephalitis and what I’m suffering with the most is head pain that starts at the back of my neck when I sit up or stand or do anything upright. I have to spend most of the time lying down but I’m scared this is going to cause more problems with weakness

Piqray or Xeloda? What were your experience?
Hi everyone. Unfortunately my scans show progression w/ new bone lesions. Good news is my mets are still all in bones. I now have to choose my next treatment by next week: Piqray + Faslodex or Xeloda. Here are my thoughts: Piqray cons: horrible, side effects. Could cause diabetes and terrible rash

Piqray failed after 3 months, on to Xeloda
Hi, I really wanted Piqray to work. I took all the diarrhea and high blood sugar for the past 3 months. But the latest CT scan showed Liver Tumors increased in size and number. So, I'm on to Xeloda. Does anyone have advice or feedback on Xeloda? what to expect, tips, success stories? Thanks, Karina

How to stop weight loss?
Hello. For the past 2-3 months I've been having trouble maintaining weight. It has dropped as low as 104. I should be around 115-120 for my height. I am vegan, don't drink, and am trying to shove in the calories. I've also experienced some stomach upset (mild nausea) that makes eating unappealing. I've

Since then I have been on hormone treatment moving to Xeloda Chemo for 18 months and 3 months ago I was moved on to Kisqali (Ribociclib) and Faslodex Injections.

Hello breasties, So, the first treatment of MBC which was Ibrance and Letrozole stopped working after just a few short months. My oncologist is now suggesting Faslodex only as a next treatment. He also told me that my cancer went from being HER2 negative to HER2 positive. Has this happened to any of
