Breast biopsy results
Hi everyone, wish me luck, I'm going to get the results of my breast biopsy today, feeling very nervous, my mum had breast cancer before dying from pancreatic cancer once she stopped taking tamoxifen. It's been a very long week waiting for the results!

New drug for treating hot flashes under FDA review
This article appeared in Natl Geographic's online daily. Because it is behind a paywall, I have copied it below. While the drug is primarily intended for menopausal women, the article notes that future beneficiaries could include men taking drugs for prostate cancer. Is it possible to cure hot

Why do we use IFN-α vs IFN-β? Might IFN-β be preferred?
I've discussed IFN types before. Some interesting info here that INF-β might be better to reduce inflammation/progression. ---- A recent post noted that Interferon is used for MS disease. This is the other IFN type 1, IFN-β (vs our IFN-α). I checked into why the difference. It turns out there

Can Eligard cause gynecomastia?
I was diagnosed with PCa in June of 2022. I was started on Eligard 3 month injections in August,2022. I may be on Eligard for a total of 18 months. Also, in December, I will start 28 sessions of EBRT. Would it be a good idea to get radiation to my chest area to prevent gynecomastia? I've been told that

No Blood Markers…
I have been diagnosed with non-metastatic Breast Cancer 3 times since 2005 (2 rounds of radiation + tamoxifen and then a bilateral mastectomy in 2016). My final Stage 4 diagnosis came in 2022 with mets in spine, Lungs & lymph nodes. I was surprised at the diagnosis since I have had regular blood tests

Estradiol Patch and Tamoxifen
For patch users, any word or experience with using Tamoxifen to counter the gynecomastia? When to start it? If you already have nipple swelling or soreness would one stop the patch until that mostly (or completely resolves) resolves first? What dosage or range of dose would be? My doctor has

Anyone else get neurothapy from taking Flecainide?
I’ve been taking Flecainide for 18 months with no obvious side effects but in the last 10 days I have been getting neuropathy in my legs and sometimes in my arms. I am also on Tamoxifen and it may be that it is that but the medics think it is as a result of drug toxicity. My EP suggested I stop taking

Any advice? Considering ending treatment.
I am a nervous wreck. I am into my fifth year. Unfortunately, after a 3 and 1/2 years with 50 mg. of verzenio and falsodex injections, my cancer spread to my liver in February. My onco kept me on the same line of treatment and then come June, the tumors doubled in size. I have one that is 11.1 cm
