Swollen & sore neck after thyroidectomy
Hi Everyone, I had a thyroidectomy three weeks ago. My wound is healing well but my whole neck is still very swollen and sore. I also have very lumpy lymph nodes above my wound. Can anyone tell me if this normal please?

Trodelvy after one year update
Hello and please excuse the lengthy post as I have a lot bouncing around in my head. I want to review my treatment path so far: I was diagnosed denovo in September 2019. Mets to lungs and bones. Started with Ibrance and Letrozole and lungs cleared immediately bones were fairly stable and CA15 dropped

ibrance
I’ve been taking ibrance with faslodex since 2018. I had to stop taking ibrance because of hospitalization (3) for infections that I needed my immune system to fight. Probably 6 months. In that time I developed nodules (small) in bowel, pelvis and cervical 2. I was taken off both ibrance and faslodex

Treatment for life?
Hello. First time posting here. Diagnosed with CLL in July by flow test and Fish test. Although still technically in lymphocytosis. My chart says diagnosis: CLL. During the discussion in July my Dr told me of things they will be keeping an eye on. Then he said he won't discuss particular treatment plans

Rising T Bili on Xeloda
Hi ladies!! my mom has been on xeloda and her T bili continues to go up last few weeks. Her last scans showed shrinking lesions on liver. Her Tumor Markers went up 28 points this month. Her scan is bumped up to next week . She s checking for blockage that would require a stent in the liver I guess

Taking Meds in the AM vs PM
Hi I’m newly on Kisqali and Letrozole and I am wondering if anyone has feedback about whether it seems better to take these during the day or at night before bed. I’ve heard that some people prefer a nighttime dosage to sleep through any nausea or fatigue Interested in any and all experiences Thanks

Just saying hello as a new member
I was just recently diagnosed with MBC in January 2024 but no stranger to breast cancer as I had already had a tangle with (what I was assured was a very low risk) breast cancer back in 2014 and underwent surgery for a lumpectomy and a subsequent regimen of 6 1/2 weeks of m-f radiation.

Fulvestrant side effects and updates
After 4yrs of silence and no medications against my oncologist advice, my breast cancer is back. Atleast I was spared from horrible side effects for those times. My 2023 January Ct scan showed mets again in mu lungs, liver and some other areas. It progressed slowly as I was going through so much financial

Results on Cervix
PRAISE GOD NEGATIVE!!! My gynecologist/oncologist said that we will see what the next Petscan looks like. If it still lights up then we will do a biopsy. Not sure why it is showing up on Petscan. She said some times urine can back up in the cervix 🤔🤔🤔. And this will cause it to show up. Otherwise

Bad ct scan
Good morning Ladies, Does anyone have any information on pleural fluid in the lung? I’m currently on first line of RX for MBC in lung with faslodex. Scans are showing small pleural fluid and nodules, etc. I’m so scared! Any thoughts? Thanks, Susie
