Rapid onset of burning in joints at rest and worse when moving
My conditions are in my bio (plus a new one… granulamatosis angiitis of the brain and cns). I’ve had pain in some of my joint (hands and feet) that are easily attributed to swelling and nerve damage. Nothing new there. But over the past month I started feeling burning in most of my major joints (shoulders

Tailbone Spasms from Neulasta
After my second dose of chemo (Docetaxel), I ended up in the ER with a fever. My white blood cell count was 1.2 K/CMM and Neutrophils were 0 K/CMM (!). Anyway, I was approved for Neulasta and had the injection 24 hours after my 3rd chemo infusion. Six days later I woke up with horrible pain and spasms

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
