Taxol-Anyone had experience with Taxol
I have ER+ Her2- metastatic breast cancer. Tumors at in my spine, pelvis and a couple ribs. Up to this point in time I have been on Hormonal therapy regimens and the latest one (Orserdu) has failed. My Dr. is now suggesting Taxol (Paclitaxel) IV Chemo treatment. Anyone have experience with this drug?

Not dying was a good plan, but how to navigate the future is the next challenge
I appreciate that I have achieved remission with my cancer and I was thinking about the fact that my liver, even though I have cirrhosis, managed all of the chemo drugs I've had pretty successfully. In our patient groups we often see people who die quickly when a second problem appears. As a vote

Chemo Docetaxel
My husband is in year 7 since RP and ADT Drugs, NUBEQA and Zytiga, all of which eventually failed. He is now having 6 rounds of Docetaxel … My question is: has anyone gone into a period of remission after being on Docetaxel? As of last Auxium scan mid June no visible spread into a major organ or bones

Tumor Marker (CEA)
Hello, My CEA jumped from 86.9 in January to 359 now. Is this the tumor marker that isn’t necessarily specific to breast cancer and can have all sorts of things cause it to be elevated? For example, I have some neuropathy and swelling in my legs and I know TMs can be affected by inflammation. Doxil

Anyone been referred for urgent TV/abdominal ultrasound from blood results?
Just wondering if anyone else has been in the same situation, to help put my mind at ease. My pain started last year and gp suspected endometriosis, had a lap done and all they found were bowel adhesions/cysts, so no endometriosis diagnosis. Surgeon said my bowel being pulled out of place was causing

Waste of time
That was a waste of time. Waited for hospital telephone appointment. No need to take hydro tablets extra weekends. That's good. Where do I get my tablets, confused me. Dr.i said. Then he went to go. My daughter said hang on. I wanted to know about other things, but asked about PALS they don't have service

Niraparib
Hello lovely ladies I’ve been on Niraparib 200mg for about 12 weeks following carbo/ calyx for first recurrence. My bloods have kept stable which is great but I’m experiencing several irritating side effects which I want to ask if any of you have come up against. Has anyone experienced hair loss

mCRPC end of ADT--staying the course.
My dad saw his oncologist yesterday. My sister and I were there; we both read “Being Mortal” and watched several videos on the subject. The MO brought in the PSA test and said it was time to start considering a treatment change and the next steps were chemo and there was also Pluvicto. What happened

progressed on xeloda to Doxil…some fun things that happened on the way… with pictures…
I’m Beth and I am 4 years and 4 lines into this journey with the tough stuff still ahead. I am writing today to share a bit as some here have been kind enough to ask how things are going for me knowing I was having a therapy change. What a memorable month it’s been since having a small progression

Side Effects of Herceptin and Perjeta
