Lumpectomy
Hi I’m due to have a wire guided lumpectomy with lymph node removal on the 6th February it’s a day case. How long was your recovery after this operation as a very good friend of my husband and I has sadly passed away we have known him for over 35 years and his funeral is on the 7th so I am hoping that

She was going to MSK and told she was clear after one breast removed and many lymphs nodes, all cancerous. She also had chemotherapy first , (no shrinkage) followed by radiation. Returned to work

Question to those of you on Euthyrox
Now that I'm back on levo (or at least will have to combine levo with NDT/T3 since NDT seems to contain too much T3 and not enough T4 for me), I wonder how the recent reformulation has affected Euthyrox. They replaced sucrose with mannitol, and I know there have been a lot of problems with Teva's levothyroxine

Cholbiomex3
Has anybody taken Cholbiomex3 to reduce their cholesterol? It contains a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum, Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) and red yeast rice rich in monacolin K. The reviews read very good although some folk had the same reactions as they did from statins due to the addition of monacolin

Experience and advice on treatment options with and without Ibrance.
Hi ladies, I've followed your posts and have found so much valuable information from you. I hope you can help me with some more of your experiences and guidance. Bone mets since Dec 2018. On Arimidex and Ibrance combo for 16 months. August scans showed no lesions. Great! Ibrance is woking! However

AF and high blood pressure? May be due to aldosteronism

Scan results mixed 😢
Hi Girls, Feeling scared as after two months off chemo (Taxol) my livers mets have progressed to the same size as they had reduced to after nine weeks on Taxol. My lung and spine mets are stable. So basically it is back to chemo for as long as I can take it. I will move from my Fulvestrant break (with

Goodbye Xeloda, Hello Taxol or Abraxane
Well, I got almost 7 months out of Xeloda, with blessedly few side effects. But my last CT scan showed that liver mets have increased, a lot, so it's time to move on. I would love to hear of your experiences with Taxol or Abraxane. I think I'm most worried about the solvent Cremophor that is needed

Statins & Metformin
For those interested in the full text of the recent study: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cam4.2862 Of particular interest is Table 3. Note that Lovastatin did very poorly, but not many men were using it. Simvastatin, which had more users than the other statins combined, was disappointing

Protein Kinase Inhibitors Promise to make CLL Chemotherapy more effective
My son just forwarded the following article to me. It's the second one that I've read (and posted here) about Protein Kinase Inhibitors being a new breakthrough in the treatment of blood cancers. The earlier one was a U. of Montreal study which found that one of them, a breast cancer treatment drug called

Splitting tamoxifen dose update...
Hello everyone, Hope all as well as can be. I've just dropped in to update after my last post over 6 months ago regarding taking 2x 10mg of tamoxifen per day as opposed to 1x 20mg per day as supply of my preferred brand was becoming difficult to acquire in the 20mg. Anyway I am happy to report that

The Other Breast
Good morning Ladies, I’m in a bit of a “tizzy”. I had a right mastectomy in Oct because the cancer there was Her2 - and it was growing again after I stopped taxotere. I now have only 3 small her2+ places in my left lung that I’m about to have sbrt on one of them. I’ve been on herceptin and perjeta
