Blood biopsy
My last PET scan showed progression in my T1, manumbrium (top part of the sternum) and in my pelvis. My oncologist ordered a blood biopsy and the results show that there is no treatment for my mutations. So I had 5 sessions of radiation, each time treating all 3 of my lesions. She is keeping me on

Tips for Xeloda
Mom is to start Xeloda next week . Looks like 1500 morning and 1500 night . I think that’s correct. She’s also on metformin right now from the anfintor and Faslodex spiking her sugar. She’s been off anfintor a week now but still doesn’t feel great . Awful taste in her mouth and not a great appetite

TruQap progress-lower TM
I posted about beginning this newly approved FDA drug in December. My blood tests last week showed that my TM dropped by 135 points. This is added to the Fulvestrant jabs I started around spring 2023. The combination seems to be going well so far. I was previously on Ibrance for several years until

Cardiac open heart surgery
Hi to all Has anyone with metastatic breast cancer had open heart cardiac surgery and might you share your experience with me please? I only saw my surgeon yesterday and am now scheduled for Monday. How amazing is that but I'm just a bit scared. It's one of those 'be careful what you wish for' situations

cross road
At a crossroad! My liver biopsy last November came back that my cancer mutated from HER2 low to HER2+. I have started THP because of it. I saw my MO yesterday who told me that my molecular study is not showing the HER2. So I have 2 contradictory tests! She also said she presented my case to the

Hello
I was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2001 I had a mastectomy with reconstructive surgery followed by chemo and radiation. Following that I was put on Tamoxifen Arimidex and Taxol. After being off for 5 years last year in 2022 I was diagnosed in the other breast with cancer. I had surgery

Staying on Ibrance & Anastrozole after 2 recurrences
I’ve been on Ibrance and Anastrozole for the last 6 years for metastatic endometrial cancer. I started out on the Ibrance125 mg and after a couple of years, had a problem recovering on the week off, so my dose was reduced to 100 mg. By spring this year, the counts could not recover on the week off,

ibrance/letrozole - when did tumor shrink?
For those of you taking ibrance and letrozole, when did you notice a reduction in your breast lump? When you first started on the meds, how long did it take before you noticed things were changing and tumor started shrinking?

Update – surgery tomorrow, then on to Xeloda
Hello all – hope that the new year is finding you all on a good journey to healing and wellness. I unfortunately have been in and out of the hospital for 21 days with seven new MRIs as they are trying to discover the root cause of my back pain and inability to walk. In addition to the extensive bone

So I had shared that her markers had went up last week. When she had the progression in July she also had a plural effusion. Which she’s had drained only twice in 6 months. But her ribs have started being sore. So she goes into tomorrow for ultra sound to see if the fluid has built back up. So her

Possible Progression
Good morning my beautiful thrivers! For the last 2 years I have been bone only Mets with reoccurring masses in my right breast chest wall. I had a CT scan yesterday which shows a new liver lesion measuring 2.6 cm. Everything else is stable. Including tumor markers and bloodwork. I have been on Ibrance

Verzenio Monotherapy
I'm wondering if anyone on here is on Verzenio monotherapy. That is just Verzenio,not in combo with anything. I take 200mg twice daily. I began this just over a month ago and wondering if anyone has been on this protocol and seen it help. To give a background. I was diagnosed first 27 years ago. Stage

tumor marker question
Hello!! My mom had her tumor markers checked on Oct 17th 2023. They were 333 that’s when we found out her anfintor wasn’t working 2nd line treatment. She was on it about 6 weeks. Around Nov 15th she started xeloda so for about a month she was on nothing! She’s did 3 round of xeloda now. Her oncologist
