Back to my oncologist this afternoon to hear the result of my scan - anyone on weekly taxol?
Just got home yesterday from doing my scan in time for my oncologist to call telling me he was going to bring forward my scan to which I informed him I had just had it. Well apart from the disorganization, he wanted to know if I had heard from London - to which I had to reply no (will be calling them

CT vs Breast cancer risk
I need to have another CT and am worried about radiation exposure to my breasts. My mom had breast cancer at 85 and lived cancer-free to the ripe age of 96 cancer-free. However, she didn't have another cancer.

Bone Strengthening
What does everybody take/use for a bone strengthened? Do all of you take calcium? I was given one IV of Zometa but I didn’t receive anymore as it cause my blood calcium levels to drop extremely low. When I asked my oncologist what I should be taking to increase my bone strength he said he wasn’t up

PET scan results
Hi all, I am so lucky to have found this site. You have helped me a great deal since my MBC diagnosis in October. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in June of 2009. I had a mastectomy on my right breast with clear margins and no lymph node invasion. I had 6 rounds of chemo but no radiation.

Afinitor or clinical trial
Hello everyone, I got the results back from my genomics test. The ibrance or possibly the faslodex is no longer working for me or my cancer is progressing now on that. I am advised that I have a mutation that would indicate afinitor is the best med. Or another option would be to go on a clinical trial

Reconstruction Expanders
In 10 days scheduled to have a mastectomy, lymph node, and expander put in. Is the expander very painful- have heard mixed things? I am very thin and small-breasted and putting a foreign object w/ a piece of metal under my chest muscle sounds horrible :( Thanks for any feedback

FISH testing and chromosomes for dummies
I am betting most of us had a cll tabula rasa at diagnosis, that is, our knowledge of cll was a blank slate. When told I had cll, all I heard was the word "leukemia". Google became my best friend and worst enemy. One of the first things I learned was that cll was not as bad as some other leukemias.

Change in Breast Cancer
Has anyone had a change in Receptors? I previously had Her2 Positive and now the sample from my breast surgery is Progesterone receptor Positive 100% and Estrogen receptor positive 2-5%. My Oncologist is completely at a loss as to what to do. She asked two colleges and got two different answers!

8-year-old Charlie raises £1000s for other people with a visible difference
When Charlie was 8 years old he was in a car crash which resulted in serious facial scarring. Since then, he's raised thousands of pounds for other people with a visible difference. This is his story. My name is Kimberley. I’m writing on behalf of my son Charlie, who’s 8 years old. On 30 September

Pain
Hello everyone, I have a question that I think sounds stupid but I have to ask. I am on Ibrance 100mg and letrozole. Does anyone experience pain or ache in the breast where your tumor is?? I haven't had any surgery, but every so often I get the pain and the ache. Just wondering if anyone else has. Thanks

Average blood levels of vitamin D in the United States are approximately 24 ng/ml, well below
