Faslodex/Fulvestrant update

Faslodex is my second line treatment- after Ibrance, Femara & zoladex. I’ve been feeling well on Faslodex - still going about my daily routine and

Early Stage or In Situ and MBC recurrence
I was diagnosed in situ 7 years ago. I opened for a Mastectomy and reconstruction as my dr said recurrence rate is less than 2 % as opposed to lumpectomy with radiation and approximately 13% recurrence. Seemed like a no brainer to me at 59. They found clusters of cancer cells in one lymph node. Removed

Having surgery in a few weeks and worried about how I will look after reconstruction.

Fatigue with PMR
I've recently been diagnosed with PMR. Steroids are working well , 15mg daily but I am exhausted. My consultant said it is likely to be the PMR, has anyone else experienced this and will it settle? I had a Mastectomy and reconstruction in June 2019 and occasionally get fatigue days as a result. This

My job requires I lift 50 lbs. If I have a bilateral mastectomy will I be allowed to return to work once healed, or will I loose my job?

Oedema & fungating cancer
My good friend had a mastectomy a few years ago, she’s now got secondary fungating cancer & having the dressings changed daily by district nurses. They are very kind but don’t have experience of dressing this cancer. Now she has oedema in her hands & legs & getting conflicting advice on whether to put

Breast cancer and Radiotherapy
I have Lupus/Sjogrens and unfortunately have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m currently undergoing chemotherapy first in order to try and reduce the tumour in order that the operation will be less invasive. After my second MRI I was given the great news that the tumour had reduced by 50%. However

Low BP and more fluids
Hi. Since I haven’t filled in my profile yet I’d better fill in a few details here. I had breast cancer 4 years ago+ Mastectomy, chemo and Herceptin. I now have moderate HF with low EF caused by treatment. I am being treated with Ramipril and Carvedilol. I have no symptoms. But now my BP tends to drop

Same as Carole, “new....well sort of ; )”
Please forgive me for my poor English and have to quote some of Carole’s words to express my thoughts. I also having been a member since 2018 and have read your collective posts daily for over 3 years. I was always hesitant to write a post because of my poor English and always didn’t have good news.

Cancer again
Has anyone gotten a secondary cancer while on W & W ? I had breast cancer two years ago and had a lumpectomy with no chemo or radiation. My cancer is now back in same breast. Thinking of a mastectomy this time but still concerned that the CLL might be an underlying cause. Any comments would be very
