Looking for opinions on fat tissue grafting after initial breast reconstruction.
HI. I was going to have fat grafting done this Friday but when I went for my first mammo. after reconstruction the radiologist didn't paint the rosy picture that my plastic surgeon did and cautioned me to be informed prior to rushing into the fat grafting. Can anyone who has gone thru this after getting

Triplets are home!

Letrozole
First of all a happy new year to everyone, & may the year be as good as possible. I see my onc next week. I’ve been taking Letrozole since May 2017, & hope I can continue. I know there are drugs that can be taken with Letrozole as cancer treatment if necessary. I already take Metformin, as I’m diabetic

Tamoxifen?
My mum has now been moved on to maintenance oral drug Tamoxifen.. after having 23 weekly taxols for 4 small liver mets. She had good response from the taxol but her oncologist wants her to have a break from it as she’s had a lot so on to tamoxifen. Had anyone had any experience with this? My mum is 60

EVEROLIMUS & EXEMESTANE
I was released from a clinical trial which I was administered Xeloda. The cancer spread so the next treatment plan is taking Everolimus & Exemestane. I haven't started it yet as I was admitted to ICU last Saturday with Malignant Pericardial Effusions (MPE). My breast cancer caused a lining of fluid around

Carpel tunnel with Letrozole
Has anyone relieved carpel tunnel without surgery? My oncologist says it’s from Letrozole but the orthopedic doctor says it’s not and wants to do surgery!

Oncologist visit went well 👍
Hi I saw Oncologist today and all is all good with my bloods so continue on palbociclib, letrozole, Ad cal and Denosumab injection. I have been on these meds since July 2018 and I do reasonably well with minimal side effects. We are off to Florida tomorrow for 10 nights - can’t wait. Jo xx

caregivers of metastatic breast cancer
Hi, im new here and don't really know how this works. but im very keen to learn from caretakers of metastatic breast cancer(as I am one) about the journey of the patient, how finance might be a problem, because the treatments tend to be really expensive. also about what really goes on with the patient

Very anxious
I have 2 three month bone strengthening infusions and am on Letrozole. Since starting infusions I’ve not had a scan. My imagination is running haywire. My daughter is pregnant with my first grandchild and I keep thinking I won’t see it

Just curious
Just wanted some input from you. I've been on Ibrance and Anastrozole for almost a year. I've tolerated it quite well. My question may sound petty, but ...... My hair has tinned so much, my eyesight has become very blurry, body aches and I'm tired of my white blood count being so low. I'm really

Femara side-effects you are experiencing
What kind of side-effects are you having with Femara? I have severe brain damage from Exemestane that has taken away at least 50% of my balance. I can't ignore the fact that Femara has SO MANY possible side-effects including dizziness and would suffer such a detriment to the quality of my life that
