CT scan
Not me, a member of my family has been diagnosed with breast cancer for a 2nd time. Not sure what type. All I know it the lump is a centimetre, has come from a duct. She has been offered a lumpectomy with radiotherapy or 2nd mastectomy with medication for five years. I’m worried now though as she has

HIPEC
Has anyone here had, or knows of someone, that has had HIPEC for metastasised stomach cancer? My husband has one metastatic tumour 4 yrs after his gastrectomy. It is in an awkward position and 6 months of standard chemo has had little effect and they’ve had to lower the dose of radiotherapy for fear

Anyone on Ibrance have lowering haemoglobin and rising liver enzyme AST? Concerned it may be cancer in marrow....
Hi all I've been on Ibrance and Letrozole since MBC diagnosis in August 2019 to bones and marrow (after primary bilateral mastectomy, immediate lat dorsi reconstruction, chemo, rads, and Herceptin in 2010). Stable CT scans since, but now AST liver enzyme rising, my Ferritin (which is odd with low haemoglobin

I always try to be upbeat about my posts. Don't post often, but enjoy reading about the strength of all of you warriors. I was diagnosed in 2016 with a very small cancer in left breast. Had lumpectomy and 21 rounds of left breast radiation. Like so many, I thought I was done. I was told recurrence

NI Fertility treatments issues
Hi! I'm new to the forum, I've come across it when I looked for advice and information on what is available to me in Northern Ireland. When I met my partner he had already gone through with vasectomy procedure having had a child from his previous relationship. We were hoping we could get an NHS funded

My history of diagnosis
I am 63, husband and 3 kids, the youngest is 17. I ad cancer and full mastectomy of my left breast on December 2005. Chemo, radiation, the whole process. December of 2020 I've been diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Shocking, I thought I was done with cancer. I am now halfway through

Greetings
Hello all. I am new to the site. I have been searching for a MBC-specific group to join since our situation is vastly different than many others. I went through my initial Breast Cancer starting in 2012. Stage 3. Chemo, radiation, bilateral mastectomy, reconstruction. All was well until October

Ruled by anxiety
Hi all. This is my first post. I'd like to say that I have been taking Effexor for years, and have been given Xanax as well, which I never take simply because I want to limit my intake of pharmaceuticals. The Effexor has done nothing for me, and it is so very difficult to wean off of it, which I decided

Sorry about your onc’s personality or the lack thereof. Fortunately mine is personable and easy to talk to and the age of my grandchildren. I’m a young 74 year old because I claim it. Not everyday but 95 % of the time. I’ve been in Ibrance, letrozole and exjavi for 19 months. It took 6 months to get

Sensations after omentum removal?
Hello everyone! In 2016 I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had to have extensive radical hysterectomy that also involved the removing of part of the omentum. I was wondering if anyone else feels strange sensations in the stomach area after their omentum removal? I constantly feel a fluttering sensation

THC/Marijuana: Why/how does it work for PD?
I live in the US in a no-marijuana state but only 5 minutes from a recreational-legal state. I usually go to my sister's house (in the legal state) at bedtime, grab an edible, then head home to sleep (it takes about an hour to kick in). Without THC, I barely sleep at all. It takes 4-5 hours to fall

Newly diagnosed post radical prostatectomy
I am 65 and have a PSA of 8.4 after radical prostatectomy in Nov 2020, MRI shows no pelvis infiltration so suspicion are distant mets, PET scan coming up. I have requested surgical castration as opposed to meds, as even loading dose of oral bicalutemide floored me with fatigue and worsening arthritis

How did you find out your breast cancer had metastasized?
I discovered a lump in my right breast in Jan 2014, had a mastectomy and did not need any other treatment. In June of 2019, I felt a small lump on my head. It did not go away, so I went to my dermatologist. She took one look and said that is metastatic breast cancer. I have been on Faslodex ever since

Radiation and MBC
So after much consideration I have had to give in and have radiation on my pelvis. One off treatment only. I was seen by the Consultant last Wednesday and had treatment Friday. No time to even think about it. I felt so sick and tired I was beginning to wonder was this worse than the pain I was experiencing

finished prednisolone 2 weeks back, still aching
Wish I'd found this forum earlier, thank you to all for helpful advice and comments. I was diagnosed in Jan 2019 with PMR and my GP def thought I had GCA leading up to that (terrible migraine like continuous headaches, sickness, light sensitivity and massive weight loss - couldn't eat anything really

Letrozole (Femara} vs Arimidex
Hi Ladies. I hear the daffodils in Scotland are peeking through so we have Spring to look forward to. No sign of them here in Wa State but maybe I’ve just missed them. A little history is that I had a double mastectomy in 2007 with reconstruction for invasive BC. Chemo wasn’t suggested and I declined

Marijuana
For those with access to medical marijuana, I have found my favorite variety for RLS (for me). I rely on tramadol and cannabis - both smoke and tincture. But a friend gifted me with some apricot kush. OMG. Instant relief. And relief from my arthritis pain, as well. And blessed sleep. YMMV

Radiation and T-suppression post radical prostatectomy
My husband needs to start radiation and testosterone suppresion due to a continued rising PSA post radical prostatectomy. He had the surgery a year ago and the last 6 months it has been going up with each blood test. Are there any questions you all think we should be asking that lack of experience and
