Afinitor and diabetes and other questions.
My metastatic breast cancer has not responded well to Ibrance, Faslodex, and Xgeva. My wbc count tanked/cancer markers soared. She wants to move me to afinitor and aromasin. I am diabetic and worry that the afinitor will mess with my blood sugar. Anyone have any experience with this? Also, as always,

change in meds to afinitor & exemestance
Hi again, I was on ibrance & faslodex but the past 3 months my ca 27 29 markers have been climbing 71 to 97 to 109. My Onc is leaving my healthcare system and has set me up with a new Onc. They met before I was seen today, and decided to switch me to Afinitor 5mg and Exemestance 25 mg. My new Onc says

14+4, bed rest and bag of emotions
Big bleed on Sunday, diagnosed with a subchorionic haematoma, unfortunately I'm still bleeding - which currently means I'm pretty much on bed rest as I think my Hb levels are now low, I dont want to aggrivate the bleeding and nobody will even entertain me on the phone until Monday if I'm still bleeding

I had the HIPEC Surgery to help with my ascites back on May 3. I wanted to let you all know my ascites has not returned post surgery. The surgery itself was several hours long and I was in a good deal of pain for a couple of days but it was a blessing that I was able to find a doctor willing to work

In an effort to answer this question, two recent studies evaluated

Anyone heard of Piqray?
Hi ladies, So I guess I have reached the end of my journey with Xeloda. I was on it for 9 months and things remained fairly stable but my last MRI showed some growth. Still less than what I started out with but my doctor feels like its time to change. And for all of you who I told that Xeloda side
