Hello All!!! I am not sure exactly how this works, so I am just sharing the story I posted as part of my Profile. Thanks for "listening." I have HER2+ MBC. I originally was diagosed with BC in 2000 (not HER2+), had a mastectomy, and underwent standard chemo. I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years. In

hi there I have just finished 2 years on piqray plus Fulvestrant injections which were not easy, starting with severe rash and ending with osteonecrosis of the jaw plus never ending diarrhoea in between! So quite glad to be leaving it behind but the question is what to go onto next? Due to progression

Hi I'm new. I had breast cancer in 2011. After the op I had 6 rounds of TAC chemo which included the red devil and had steroids then ten years of tamoxifen then letrozole hormone tablets.

Hello all, I hope you’re doing well today. I’m about to change medication again. Do any of you know the complete list of estrogen blocker pills or shots that are available? My onc wants me to go on a trial because she says I’ve used them all, but I want to make sure that I really have. I’ve used Faslodex

Hello, I need some help please. I have recently had a couple of bouts of Atrial Fibrillation, May and July. My GP registrar wrote to the endocrinology team to ask for advise because my TSH was 0.02.
