Hello , My name is Jill and I will be starting Xeloda next week. I was on Ibrance/Letrozole for 16 months and it has stopped working. I am curious about the new meds and wanted to talk to you ladies about a few things. I have not met with the Onc Pharmacy yet to discuss the drug and ask various questions so I figured I…
I had a Signatera Test last week and it came back positive also with out of range CA 25-27. I had already had a clear Breast MRI a month ago. The Signatera Test shows circulating tumor cells in my blood. This means I am now Metastatic and I am in shock. I'm only 3 years out of chemo/rads/hormone therapy with 2b and 1…
My Ct scan found several calcified nodules on my thyroid. One measured 7mm. From what I have read, they are probably cancerous. I am now really worried. I am only 3rd year into treatment for my BC. They said I would be ok for 9 years. Glad I change clinics. The old clinic kept dismissing all my issues. My new Dr. has been…
in October 2018 when I was 34, I was diagnosed with stage I/II IDC ER/PR+ HER2- low oncotype and ki67 and so went through lumpectomy, radiation, tamoxifen for five years. It was a large tumor near my chest wall, but due to the pathology report + oncotype oncologist said my outcome would be very similar with / without chemo…
My cancer 20 years ago was HER2+. I'm looking at stage IV and I'm devasted.

I’ve been gone a while… after 12 years my er+ pr+ her2- cancer showed up in my brain. I had been getting more unsteady, but figured I really needed to work on muscle strength since I’m getting older (63). Qi was having headaches which I repeatedly complained about to my primary care - nothing was helping. But then I…

Based on testing with CT, bone scan, MRI’s, it’s confirmed I have bone mets to hip (several areas), pelvis (five spots) and a rib or two thrown in for good measure. I’m thankful nothing showed up in vital organs. I’m not surprised as I was diagnosed with ILC Stage 2B 13 years ago. I’ve been having positive Signatera…
