This will be week 5 on Lynparza. I’ve noticed since I’ve started my ALT, AST & blood glucose are in the high range. Curious if anyone else has had anything similar. Diabetes runs in my family, would like to get ahead of it. My last A1C was normal but at that time I wasn’t on Lynparza. I’m going to vent; if I bring it up…
Getting scan results of bone and CT after 3 months of tx. Nothing really to compare them to, since I had PET and MRI for dx. I'm scared, and need reassurance. Thanks.
Has anyone had their tnbc mutate to be hormone positive? I was originally 99% er+ and 1% pr+. Then I was tn. Now I'm 95% er+ and 75% pr+! My understanding is that breast cancer usually becomes less hormone positive, not more…I'm not sure what to think…
Hello dear community, My name is Yvonne, I am 56 years old and from the Netherlands, and I am currently battling metastatic, triple-negative, non-hormone-sensitive metastatic breast cancer. After undergoing treatments with capecitabine and paclitaxel, my oncologists have identified Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan) as a…
Hi all, I am right now having tremendous scanxiety about two scans I had on Tuesday. One was a nuclear bone scan, the other was a CT scan. They were supposed to reveal progress (or progression) after 3 months of Fulvestrant and 300 mg of daily Verzenio. I never had a bone scan before. The stupid technician came in after it…

I haven't noticed anyone posting about this particular combination. I'm very nervous about the side-effects and I'd love to hear how people are doing. Is it…

Go parasailing (done May 2018) Go on a cruise (done Feb 2019) Go to the Bahamas (done Feb 2019) Go to Jamaica Go to Hungary and Ireland See the Northern Lights See Hepcat (Ska band)…
I was told back in the beginning of 2021, after a brain MRI, that I had skull mets to the calvarium. I wasn’t offered any treatment for them. I’m assuming because I had no symptoms. Lately I’ve seen a number posting about skull mets and having SBRT. Am I assuming if I had no symptoms and I’m covered from skull to femurs in…
When I was very young, my grandparents and I would watch a TV comedy, "The Life of Riley." The protagonist would turn to the camera at some point and declare, "What a revoltin' development this is" when something untoward had occurred. It always brought a big laugh from the soundtrack. Several weeks ago, I had a bone scan…
