radiotherapy
Does anyone know if radio therapy (breast) if you’re already on thyroxine might affect levels/ blood tests at all? I had radio this week but a test coming up in 6weeks to check levels following a thyroxine increase while on tamoxifen. I know it can induce, this is is yourre already on a stable dose

Adaura 2 trail
Had a small upper lobe segment removal 10/18 stage 1a (R lower lobectomy and R upper lobe wedge 2018). No treatment at the time and no treatment recommended once again. However, did meet with Thoracic onc last week to discuss how this pathogoly compared to initial one 5 years ago and thoughts on chances

Update: PSA after IMRT
After my 40 treatments, I wanted to get off the bicalutamide I had been on for 2 months. My breasts had not only gotten enlarged but they had also become quite painful, and the Tamoxifen my RO had put me on did not help with this. He then ordered an early PSA test, and when it came back at just .12

tamoxifen and thyroxine
if you started tamoxifen, how much did thyroid bloods/ dose need to change? I know tamoxifen causes fatigue and foggineess but also wondering if it’s thyroid too as I know it can interfere with things. I do have a blood tests in a couple of weeks.

Hello
I was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2001 I had a mastectomy with reconstructive surgery followed by chemo and radiation. Following that I was put on Tamoxifen Arimidex and Taxol. After being off for 5 years last year in 2022 I was diagnosed in the other breast with cancer. I had surgery

Radiation treatment for gynecomastia? Anyone?
As we all know, ADT treatments can cause a side effect known as gynecomastia. I am experiencing gynecomastia after being on Orgovyx and am considering the radiation treatment for it. Has anyone out there done the radiation treatment for gynecomastia? How did it work out for you? Did you experience

Tamoxifen side effects
After 3 operations, I finished radio therapy for breast cancer (RH side) on 21 August, started Tamoxifen on 6th September. In the last two weeks I’ve been feeling really fatigued especially in the morning, once that eases I’m left with a sensation like I’m drugged, slightly drunk all through the day

Testing if Aromatise inhibitors work for you- you might be able to stop taking them
I recently had a test ordered that I found out was from a sample from my lumpectomy from 6 years ago. It was a test to see if Tamoxifen or any of the aromatase inhibitors work are helpful to take for my breast cancer. I would need to look up my exact diagnosis as I can’t remember exactly. I know it was

Ibrance v. Kisqali
Good afternoon! Looking for information to compare Ibrance and Kiqali myself, I came across this discussion. I took Ibrance for a year and really struggled with terrible brain fog to the extent that I could hardly work, joint pain was awful, had some hair loss, and the usual neutropenia and blood work

Is this normal?
Hi there🥰. Its been awhile since I’ve written but I’m always thankful for the information in this group. After 5 years on exemestane, I received the following report after my last scans. Progression…and I’m scared. Today my MO put me on tamoxifen with scans scheduled in 2-3 months. Is this a normal

4yrs post first diagnosis
I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in the fall of 2019- had a lumpectomy and have been on Tamoxifen since then. I am scheduled for my yearly diagnostic mammogram on Thursday but today I noticed a peculiar change in my other breast- redness in one distinct area- the same place as my last

How long should I continue with bicalutamide after radiotherapy?
I just completed 40 external beam IMRT treatments two weeks ago. I was Gleason 3 +4, negative bone and CT scans, and although my Decipher score was a disappointing 68, it forecast that with radiotherapy I have a 9% chance of metastasis in 10 years and a 12% chance of mortality in 15 years. Now age

Afinitor/Everolimus and Tamoxifen is next :(
Hi everyone - it's time for me to change treatment again. Well my time on the Hope trial was pretty short-lived (December to June with pretty much progression showing for 1/2 that time) and now officially over. I'm ok with ending the trial because the travel out of State, and insurance issues were becoming

I joined Health Unlocked in 2016 when my daughter was diagnosed with both breast cancer and diabetes. She was 36 at the time so it was the full works in terms of treatment. She underwent a lumpectomy in her left breast, chemo, radiation and has been on hormone therapy - 1 tab of Tamoxifen a day since
