information about Her2 type
Hello- I am writing in regards to my mother who is now in her 70’s with second occurrence of breast cancer. She just found out it is Her2 type and radiologist told her today it was a cancer 3 aggressive type. Does anyone have any information or experience with this type that you would feel okay sharing

Hi everyone. At noon today it will be ten years since I went to A&E with pain in my legs. I couldn't get a doctors appointment which on this occasion turned out to be lucky because I was diagnosed with stage 3C Ovarian cancer and examination. I had the op and chemo like everyone else and have been so

Update
just an update from my last post. Martins prostate cancer which has now spread to his liver showed 4 small mets on the latest scan. 1 was large enough to do a biopsy. It is now showing small cell prostate cancer which we understand is quite aggressive. We are still waiting to see if the biopsy shows

emotions during chemo
hi all, I am on the paclitaxel Carboplatin regimen for stage 2A clear cell ovarian, after optimal surgery. I am physically tolerating the chemo well after 2 sessions, though I feel so irritable, angry, intolerant especially during the few days after the chemo. I feel horrible for being so impatient with

Off topic Friday, late as usual.
I had a tough appointment with my oncologist last week. She told me that she anticipates that my current medication will control my stage IV cancer for the remainder of this year and possibly for the next. After that she has only chemotherapy (docetaxel) in her armoury. She thinks this might prove too

Capecitabine(Xeloda) dose change
I have been on Capecitabine for about 9 months at a dose of 2000 mg per day (2 weeks on 1 week off). My scans have shown good results with the last scan showing no progression.
