Former art teacher with a passion for travel
Former art teacher. I started traveling in my fifties and it became my passion (I’ve visited 41 countries so far!) until Covid and then my stage 4 diagnosis came. Diagnosed with IDC stage 3 in 2015. My great-grandmother had breast cancer in the 1920s, and an aunt had it when she was in her mid-eighties

Hi all I’ve not been here for nearly 3 months time has disappeared recently. Last time here was the night before my surgery.
Surgery was ok ( In hindsight ! ). total hysterectomy bilateral salpingoophrectomy .., they took my appendix and also omentum. Histology came back as Stage 1c2 mucinous adenocarcinoma . Was suspected ( as most mucinous are ) that it was a secondary tumour from GI origin ( stomach / bowel) I’ve had

Niraparib and eyelashes
Hi, I am wondering if anyone else has noticed that their eyelashes are only little stumps of lashes? My eyelashes grew back lovely and long after I finished my Chemo in June 2022. I have been on Niraparib since July but noticed this last few weeks my eyelashes have gotten shorter. Is this a side

Chemo round 2 - fingernail beds feel bruised
This isn’t how I pictured neuropathy feeling, that would be numbness or pins and needles, correct? Yesterday I noticed pressing on my fingernail caused a bruising feeling. Today some of the fingernail beds just ache a little, and feel bruised when touched. It’s obviously from chemo, is there a name

Experiences of Clatterbridge cancer center, Wirral
I am particularly interested in the facilities and concomitant support available at Clatterbridge from the perspective of whether they have an acute medical unit to help deal with any issues that come up,
chemotherapy
and how surgical referrals are dealt with.

For those on IV Chemo - How Long for Tumor Markers to Drop
For those of you on IV chemo, can you share how long it took for your tumor markers to drop after you started? Conversely, if your tumor markers didn’t drop or kept rising and/or your scans did not improve or were showing progression, how long was it before your oncologists switched you to different

Mitoxantrone
Has anyone used this for chemo? What is the likelihood of it helping where Docetaxel and Cabazitaxel did not work at all? Thank you

Has anyone had a bad reaction to Oramorph?
Reading the thread about using opioids for RLS, I wonder if anyone has tried Oramorph? As I have stage 4 cancer, when I had some bad pain I was prescribed this liquid medicine but found that it made my RLS ten times worse. It stopped the pain a treat and I only took 2.5 mls ( a tiny amount) but my legs

Xofigo or Chemo?
Chemotherapy
. Tough choice but the Zytiga is not working. Meanwhile he accepted my suggestion to try the SLASH /Lu177 clinical trial as long as it doesn't have a late start. Of course I need to get accepted... ...if not, any pros /cons if going Xofigo vs Chemo ??

weaning from amiodarone
Replying to Bro Thomas about amiodarone The amiodarone did stop my afib problem I’m sorry to hear it has not helped you. My Dr did wean me off the drug as you described. However after being off the amiodarone for about 2 months I was prescribed a 30 day heart monitor to wear to make certain there were

Unrelenting pain post chemo dose
Hi, 3 years post mbc diagnosis And my scan in December showed progression in both my liver and lungs. There is no spread into my bones. Commenced on 3 weekly epirubicin and cyclophosphamide. I'm on my 2nd cycle but during the 2 cycles I have the most horrendous, unrelenting pain in my upper back area
