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.

Does anyone have info on Patty? Haven't seen her here for awhile.
Hello everyone! Today I learned from the CT examination that peritoneal carcinomatosis appeared. I am desperate because things were going well! I am waiting for encouragement and opinions from those with this type of breast cancer metastasis: peritoneal carcinomatosis. Has anyone tried HIPEC therapy or PIPEC therapy? I…
When you look up stats for stage IV they’re dismal, yet I continue to see lots of longer term survivors on this site. Some were given a year or two. Would love to hear how many are there and how life’s is for you. I’m coming up on three years and just failed with letrozole. MO says plenty options sti
