If it’s not one thing, it's another! Update
Following on from the previous post, I had my appointment with the Ophthalmology Surgical Unit yesterday. Basically appeared to be a couple of pre-op tests to take measurements of my eyes. I’ve been given a contact number to call in a day or two to find out where on the waiting list I am. Hopefully

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

Ibrance and supplements
I belong to those who are very careful in taking food supplements. My oncologist recommended not to take calcium and vitamin D because I have a high level of calcium in my blood. I mainly use vitamin C, and I try to compensate everything else from food. I am 69 years old and use Ibrance 100 + fulvestrant

Fuervesant shots
Hi everyone! I’m new to this stream. I have stage 4 medistatic breast cancer in the bones. I’m on Ibrance and Letrozole but will be getting Fuervsant on Friday 2-2-24.

I have been on this for a handful of years and the hip pain just started within the last 4 months. No problems at the injection site. This is specially my hip. Initially it

Update: Carbo/Etoposide for Dad’s Liver Mets
My dad has his 6th round of Carbo/Etoposide next week. The last 2 rounds have been very difficult on my dad. We thought he was lucky in the beginning as the side effects were manageable and attributed it to my dad being young and previously very active. It’s definitely true that chemo is cumulative.

Any insight into # platinum chemo cycles?
So I'm about to start cisplatinum + etoposide chemo cycles on wed. next week for NECP/SCCP. The first irritant I have of which I'm sure will not be the only one is: I have no idea what the treatment plan is, I don't know how many cycles I'm scheduled for and what the treatment goal is. Researching

mCRPC- What is double negative prostate cancer along with the other 4 subtypes.
In research trying to understand my PSMA-negative FDG-positive current scenario I've come across some interesting articles that I thought I'd share with the group. I'm consulting with a new MO on Wednesday and I'm hoping she can shed some light on my progression. This paper came out 2 weeks ago- it's

Cancer Center Keeps Making Errors that make my application for a Medical Marijuana card get denied
I am so frustrated! My second application for a MMC was denied as the Physicians License # was in error. The first one was denied because their phone number was not included. This is just crazy! I've written a letter about that to them and will be giving it to either my onc or the NP that I see

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,

Treatment wait length- Public Health System Ireland
Hi all, I'm waiting on a scan appointment for suspected Ovarian Cyst and I'm in a lot of pain. I'm paying for it myself as I don't have health insurance and my consultant said I could be waiting 3 months on the Public Health waiting list. My mom had a 1kg cyst removed a few years ago and full hysterectomy
