BCC and SCC
The main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma - all named after the type of cells within the epidermis that they form in. 90% of cases are caused by cumulative or intermittent and intense exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) which can result

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. I thought all

Pulmonary metastasectomy anyone?
HI , I am (almost) 60 years old and have ER+ her- metastatic breast cancer. My cancer returned after first being diagnosed 12 years . I have several tumours in my right lung. I have been stable on ibrance and letrozole for 2 years (hoping and praying for this good quality of life to continue). I

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

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

Jak2/tet2 mutation
Hello this is Ben from VA! I was diagnosed with MPN last year and use Besremi every 2 weeks. I have jak2/tet2 mutations which makes me feel confused and scared since the majority of PVs only have jak2(or other so-called driver mutations). I read a lot online and it seems tet2 is not the worst thing

Great Resource Practice Update
When I first joined this site, a member kindly posted a link to PracticeUpdate.com. It is a great site which reports on all the latest trial results, including metastatic breast cancer. You do not need any special expertise to understand the study results. I have found the site to be very helpful

PSA Ultrasensitive 0.015 six months after prostatectomy
3 month PSA was <0.1, but that was not ultra sensitive. How worried should I be? Next steps? Urologist wants to see what the 9-month PSA test looks like, and to get a second Decipher genetic test. (I had one prior to surgery.) Pathology from surgery showed margins were positive, but Gleason score

More Waiting
Me with a urological oncologist yesterday. He asked questions and when I told him that. My mother had breast cancer at 36 he said that he wanted germline testing and Decipher done on biopsy cores before moving further. In his opinion is BRCA is present, removal is the only option. Otherwise radiation

New blood test to detect neuroendocrine PCa
Summary: Researchers have developed a blood test that can reliably detect neuroendocrine prostate cancer and differentiate it from castration-resistant prostate cancer-adenocarcinoma (CRPC-adeno). https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/01/240110120221.htm

Breast pain on prednisolone
This might be a bit of a strange one, but have you experienced twinges in the breast on pred? I get these quite sharp twinges every now and again and I wondered if it might be the pred? A very quick google suggests it might be. I mentioned it to the radiographer last week when I had a routine mammogram

Immunotherapies for MBC?
When I search for “immunotherapy” on this site I mostly see posts related to other types of cancers, but not MBC. I believe there are a few immunotherapies approved for MBC and there are several in clinical trials, but unless I’m missing it they don’t seem to get much discussion on this board. Immunotherapies

Final diagnosis uncertain - either cured or stage 4
Hello all, I hope you are as well as you can be. I am wondering if anyone has ever been in my situation. This is quite long - sorry. I have metastatic breast cancer in my bones (9 years) which have been stable for quite a few years. Routine CT picked up lung nodule - PET confirmed most likely lung

I take 3000 a day and I weigh 135 lbs. My regime is 7 days on and 7 days off. However I started with 3500 and that really affected my hands and they lowered my dosage. I am still having challenges with my hands but it’s not bad. They get extremely dry and crack, so I try to keep them moisturized

Advice? Anyone taking Herceptin Perjeta and Faslodex? And bye Ibrance
Hi everyone. My onc switched me off ibrance and Exemastane bc initial breast tumor is growing and has become resistant to these meds. I knew like all of us here that first line of treatment would end sometime (almost 4 years) but I’m really nervous about this new normal I’m entering into with 3 week
