What is role of hormonal therapy drug when taken with targeted therapy, eg Piqray or Ibrance?
I’ve been curious about this and wondering if anyone can explain. I want to better understand the role of the hormone therapy eg Faslodex when taken with targeted therapy such as Ibrance. Does it just reduce the amount of estrogen available to the cell and “lightens the load” on the targeted therapy?

Is it menopause ?
My story is complicated and confusing. I am 39 now but I think I am getting into menopause very soon.I have severe hot flushes for nearly a month and half now, they are so severe and frequent that I have to sit motionless in front of the AC or fan all the time, even going to the bathroom would trigger

Thyroid - updated bloods - advice
Good morning, Just had the attached bloods back from Medichecks and wonder if anyone had any advice before I return to GP to discuss. I took the test at 7:30am after fasting overnight and within one hour of waking. I’ve put columns for previous tests in April and September for comparison. TSH

Why do I feel so rundown on ibrance?
Hello, I am a breast cancer survivor, stage 4, her2- , estrogen and progesterone positive.I was on Ibrance and letrozole for around 2 yrs. I was told the pills usually only last 9 months. Almost Depends on the person. Every time I have my labs done my white count and neutrophils were too low.

Bit of a Vent
She went through my history, symptoms etc (my mum and auntie have endometriosis) and said she’s going to give me injections (I can’t remember the name) for a short period as apparently if my symptoms get better, it is a very good indicator I have endometriosis as it stops all

DIO2 weight loss
It’s stumped both western and naturopathic docs, best we can guess is it released
oestrogen
quickly from fat cells causing estrogen dominance (I know I react badly to estrogen due to ovulation and hrt causing symptoms).

Suggestions please
And upping to 125
oestrogen
and starting testosterone. I’d started x2 Utrogestan daily a month before. I posted a couple of weeks following feeling horrific after tonsillitis and antibiotics. I queried if there were drug interactions. As I felt thyroidy.

egg retrieval and high progesterone level
Hi everyone, Looking for some advice/ anyone that may have been in a similar boat. Today was egg collection day (4th time). They managed to retrieve 4 eggs but I was told that they would have to be frozen if they make it to day 5 blastocysts due to my bloods on Monday showing high levels of progesterone

HRT & possible relapse
My question to you wonderful ladies is, if you’ve been told your cancer is
oestrogen
receptive, how did they find out? I do not know if mine is but thinking by having the
Oestrogen
only HRT gel it may well have unsettled things.

Do I need to stop taking estrogen? Feel as if I'm choosing between mental and physical health.
So I've read a lot now- probably too much. From what I can gather from things (and I am new to this - didnt know I had endometriosis until Tuesday when they aborted my hysterectomy as my bowel is fused to my cervix) estrogen seems to be the driving force behind endometriosis. Is that true? It also seems

HRT and magnesium supplements
Hi I’m new on here. I’m taking oestrogel 1-2 pumps in the morning, and one progesterone capsule at night. I’m increasingly frequently waking up in the night and I’m exhausted. Have tried other HRT types which made me feel mad and wild so I want to stick with this. Friends have recommended magnesium
