Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. Diagnosed with Stage 4 Mets to bone, which started out with breast cancer. Now it spread to my thorasic, lumber, and upper cervical spine. I have a private FB group to share my journey with family and friends. I would also like to join a community group for some more support. With that…
I’ve been on Ribociclib/Faslodex tx for liver mets since July 2023. Recent MRI indicated several new liver lesions. I’m rather disappointed that the above tx only last 15 months. Going to start Piqray this week. I’m concerned about the side effects of hyperglycemia and diarrhea. could you please share your experience on…
Seems like a lot of stage 4 US citizens are getting Social Security Disability Insurance payments. So lets see how many there are! If you were denied, please comment if it was for medical issues. My understanding is denials are more "not paid in enough" issues than medical. PLEASE TAKE POLL ONCE ONLY!
I'm looking to share side effects or just any updates on Lynparza / Olaparib. I just started targeted therapy on Jan 12th. Aside from a little heartburn at first (helped with OTC pill), I've now started some daily Immodium, which the pharmacy sent WITH the Lynparza. Lol. I've started to just feel plain odd and very…
I was recently diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in my bones- de novo at 41 years old. I have been having difficulty breathing on and off for the past few months. It feels like air hunger - every day, like I just can’t get enough air. They’ve checked me for a blood clot twice now, so that’s not it. It does get worse…
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, which can be an overwhelming time for many women and men affected by breast cancer, especially for those with a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis. We'd really like to have everyone discuss here what you think and feel approaching this month. Thank you ❤️
I like to post here occasionally, this forum helped me a lot early in my dx. I am living well with stage v for over 18 years. I am triple positive and on herceptin and Aromasin. For the last nine years I have had no signs of cancer. The last time the cancer was active it was in my bones and lungs. I know stories like this…
After failing Kisqali/aromasin, abraxane and halaven, I’ve now begun my journey with Ixempra. I get treatments once every 3 weeks. Tuesday was my first tx - in between meltdowns (due to report of progression), I slept a lot. Until that night. I was up all night long. I’m sure it was the steroids in the premeds. Wednesday…
Frustrated and angry. I've had MBC for 4 years now. I did really well on Verzenio/abemaciclib and was told I had NED in July. I just got my CT scan back and it shows a probable tumor on the liver. PET scan and liver biopsy coming up. My tumor markers have been rising too. Lucky to have had 4 good years so far, but just 3…
Hello, Anyone on a Kisqali and exemestane combo? I'm just finishing my first cycle--after 8 rounds of paclitaxel was getting to be too much for me, my onco and I decided to try this oral chemo. Noticing my hair thinning, which is extra upsetting as I cold-capped with the paclitaxel expressly because I did not want to lose…
