My name is Ruby and my breast cancer stage 2B first was treated in 2004/5. I had chemo, radiation and 5 years on Tamoxifen. This spring it returned to my ribs and lungs and I was devastated. Yet, after 3 months on Xelota the lungs are improving hugely. I had read some stats that really scared me but

Cataract surgery update.
So sorry. I got busy with summer activities and forgot to update. Thanks JeanE for the reminder. It was as straightforward as you all said it would be. Within 2 days the swelling was down enough to bring things into sharp focus. The eye surgeon said steroids from the lung cancer treatment, pneumonitis

New MBC med
Hi Everyone, New med approved by FDA. The only thing that is curious is that it has average of 27.5 months for those NOT previously treated with endocrine therapy. So, guess my question is - does Tamoxifen count? Does Ibrance/letrozole count? I’m sure they would still prescribe as option but wonder

A weight has been lifted!
Hi my lovely ladies, had hospital appointment on Friday, and got my results on the Octotype test, and luckily don't require Chemotherapy, my risk of reaccurance is low so , to be honest I'm quite relieved, So next step is Tamoxifen for 5years, and Radiotherapy for 3 weeks, also possibly hormone injection

Bad petscan results
Petscan shows cancer has spread significantly, but is still just in bones. I have been on generic xeloda for 3 months apparently its not working for me. I was on ibrance & fasoldex before that and tamoxifen & zometa before that, and chemo, mastectomy & radiation before that. Now my doc wants to put

Endometriosis and Tamoxifen
Hi ladies, I was diagnosed with endometriosis after 25+ years of problems in October 2016 during emergency surgery. Had further planned surgery to remove ovarian cysts and extensive internal scarring and adhesions found throughout my abdomen. I am lucky in that I don't get that much pain. I was then

Hi, I'm new here and I am a 33 yo, trying to conceive for 2 years... I know is not as much as some people struggle too but this has been incredibly hard for me. I've always thought it would be something easy, I don't have any health issues, I don't smoke, drink or ever used any substances that could

Waving from Suffolk, England
Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself, I'm new here. June is the anniversary of my lumpectomy, so I've had a year to process what's happened so far and I'm feeling ready to reach out into the community. My breast cancer was picked up on a routine mammogram, there was no lump. The lumpectomy didn't

Third cancer is serous, caused in part by tamoxifen
I have been reading comments daily. I am 8 days out from my first carbo/taxol infusion. My protocol is 6 cycles. Every three weeks. Then vaginal cuff brady radiation. This does scare me. I remember the process for breast cancer radiation. It is a lot especially after the infusions. I will get through

IVF5 stims start today
Today is the beginning of round 5 (round 3 of 3 natural modified). 7 follicles at CD2 scan. PLEASE let it be the last round we ever have to go through, that one of our Frosties or one from this round is the one 🤞🏼🍀 Slightly new approach this time, upped the bemfola to 225 and leaving out the tamoxifen

Nearly a week on from laparoscopic hysterectomy....
Hello everyone Just thought that I would update on my op which I've had as a consequence of tamoxifen for 2 years which have caused endometrial hyperplasia (thickening of uterus). I had it Friday morning and came home Saturday afternoon not needing to be on pain relief! I've had a total hysterectomy
