What to do?
I know that continuing with chemo is a personal thing, and that it has to be my decision, but I have no one else, who understands, to discuss this with.I had my first chemo, Carbo/Taxel in 2016,, and since then have had Avastin, Carbo/Caelyx, Rucaparib and weekly Taxel, which I finished just before Christmas

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

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

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

Kidneys are in trouble. Chemo delayed.
Hello ladies. I was to have chemotherapy yesterday. Unfortunately, my creatinine level was up from 1.11 to 1.68. Also, filtration should be above 60. Mine dropped to 32. An ultrasound has been scheduled on February 16, and I see my oncologist the following day. Usually on the six-hour drive from New

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
