Hay fever medicines
I continue to have badly blocked ears and a runny nose for several weeks. I’ve only managed to see paramedics rather than a GP about it. I haven’t used any nasal sprays (other than saline) but would like to try anti-allergy medication such as antihistamine. Yet I’ve read that “A few common stimulating

What next? re maintenance for HGS recurrence
Would love to know if any ladies who has also been unsuccessful with Olaparib, what has been a successful maintenance for you? I’ve just got 2 cycles more of Carbo/Caelyx, min scan showed slight reduction not as good as hoped for. Only maintenance mentioned by oncologist is to go on Letrozole. I

I’m taking tamoxifen for breast cancer. It had impacted thyroid levels in the autumn but I only adjusted by a little. Latest test was tsh 5.17 and t4 17 (not taken that day) on 125 for 3 days a week and 100 for 4 days a week. Obviously I’m not very with it now. I think it has been like this for

Letrozole
I saw the oncologist yesterday to discuss radiotherapy and hormone therapy.The plan for radiotherapy is on hold ATM because I have an ongoing issue with a seroma on the breast and underarm. During the meeting she said she would give me a prescription for Letrozole, I told her I wasn't happy to start

Oil of Evening Primrose
I had a lumpectomy last May. It was a small ductal carcinoma which was invasive. I went on to have Radiotherapy and started a five year course of Letrozole. I developed bad joint pain and I had a month off to see if the Letrozole was the culprit. It was better but not gone. The oncology nurse suggested

Question about tumor markers
Hi there, happy spring to all!! My Mom’s been doing well with trial med in combination with Faslodex monthly. Her blood work has been normal with good liver function. Her tumor marker test (the CA 15-3) test showed in the 350 range. I’m not sure it’s ever been that high but it was in the 150 range

Exemestane and Afinitor
Hi everyone I just completed 1 month of Truqap. I had to stop treatment due to a cough and a horrible rash. I had to stay in the ER for 24 hours due to the rash. I am now moving on to Exemestane and Afinitor. I would so appreciate any experience that anyone has had on these 2 meds. I’m mostly interested

Breast dimpling post Lumpectomy?
Hi there! Anyone notice breast dimpling after lumpectomy? It has been 6 months after my surgery and I’m seeing 2 distinct dimples showing in the surgery area. I’m thinking it could be from the scar tissue?

Radiation for cancer other than thyroid.
Does radiation treatment for breast cancer affect thyroid medications? Does dose need to be adjusted during or after treatment?

Acute Liver Failure Diagnosis
On Tuesday, I finally received the long awaited Truqap. I was told to hold off beginning treatment and to bring the medicine to the oncologist's off on Thursday. The oncologist took one look at me and dropped her jaw in awe of my yellow skin color, which I could not see, then shipped me off to the

TP53 Testing
Good afternoon. My oncologist called me last month to tell me that my FISH test indicated that I had Trisomy 12. He went on to say “You should feel lucky that you don’t have TP53.” I watched this excellent video yesterday. The doctors discussed the importance of having the separate TP53 test with FISH

My mom just got diagnosed with CLL at 59 - we have questions - thank you for all the support on my previous post!
1. We live in Southern California - does anyone know a great specialist near by? 2. Her ABSOLUTE LYMPHOCYTES are 9533 - does anyone have similar numbers but they have increased 24% from a month ago when they were at 7732?? Is this alarming? 3. Her IGHV test came back at 6.87% - what does that mean?
