Feeling low. Wind out of my sails
Update - Saw doc this morning and I was hoping that the Enhertu would be working after the 4th cycle, but markers went up +289. Now I am at 2130 (15.3) and the general tumor markers are up almost 4 pts to 56. He said I could do another round of Enhertu and I just said, look, just over a year now and

best treatment after Xeloda?
I was diagnosed with MBC in Feb 2022 with bone mets. I am HER2 low ER positive. I have been on kisquali, Ibrance, Faslodex, and lastly 4 rounds of Xeloda. Nothing seems to stop my progression, Kisquali sent my liver enzymes sky high. Ibrance/Faslodex progression was slow and markers rose. Xeloda

Referral from Wales to England - any experience?
Hi. I'm HGSOC stage IVb diagnosed in Feb. Just had CT scan following 3rd cycle of carboplatin/paclitaxol and 2nd of Avastin. CA125 has reduced from 374 pre-chemo to 26 post 2nd cycle which I'm hoping is a positive sign! I have spread to my liver and spleen and have been told surgery will only be an option

Will I be offered surgery?
Hi All, I have HGSOC stage 1V and when I was diagnosed just over two years ago my abdominal tumour was 15cm x 11cm with a side mass of 4cm. I had spread to the lymph nodes in my neck and chest which have now gone. After two years of chemo the tumours had reduced but are now back to square one. I was

What is role of hormonal therapy drug when taken with targeted therapy, eg Piqray or Ibrance?
I’ve been curious about this and wondering if anyone can explain. I want to better understand the role of the hormone therapy eg Faslodex when taken with targeted therapy such as Ibrance. Does it just reduce the amount of estrogen available to the cell and “lightens the load” on the targeted therapy?

SGLT-2 Inhibitors to (partially) “Starve” Glucose Dependent Cancers
There has been many theories proposed about how to “starve cancer”. And many have gone down rabbit holes chasing unproven theories about how to do so. Unfortunately, IMO, they simply do not work. Cancers are very metabolically flexible. They will take what they need to survive and grow and adapt to whatever

ultrasound result
Hello, me again! So my partner has had his letter telling his ultrasound result. It says that there is 24mm irregular area withing the left lobe of his liver. It also says that this could be nothing more than focal fat or a cancer. He now is going to have an urgent MRI. I am so scared now. After

thoughts 🙏
hi everyone, my dad has had MBC since June of 2022. He has been on Ibrance, letrozole, lupron, and xjeva. His Mets were to bone and then he was NED for a year from June 2022 to June 2023. In July he took a PET scan and it showed a slight uptake of activity to his chest wall. Plan was to keep him on

WORDS AND THOUGHTS
If it is not too much to ask, I would really appreciate your words and thoughts. I am sad, angry and frustrated with my husband's Prostate Cancer most of the time. I try to do things to take me to the calm place in my mind, but silent tears prevail. I journal, draw, paint, make cards for the homeless

Gastric cancer
I have had MBC since September 2019, being in remission for several months. In May I found out that the cancer is in my duodenum and stomach lining plus my skull. The cancer is inoperable because of where it is. Had to have feeding tube put in which is not pleasant! Have lost 34 pounds! Have begun getting

Thinking of taking an ADT vacation
And if the PSA starts rising, does it mean the
cancer
cells are being aroused from their 'sleep'
and
tumours
will start growing? If I do take a break from the ADT, what is the threshold level of PSA where I need to take action...like resuming the ADT?
