I just had my latest scans, and I am still stable with my current treatment plan- Lynparza, Lupron, Xgeva. In fact, the scan said "no evidence of metastatic disease in the abdomen"- I had tumors in the liver we were monitoring. I ask my MO if there was any way to monitor molecular progression- progression before it is…
Hello. On my first round of doxil. Did anyone have a lot of upper and lower back pain?
Hi there. After almost 7 years of being clear on Verzenio, my most recent PET/CT showed a completely new lesion—1.8 × 1.2 cm—in the periphery of the mid right liver lobe, and it’s considered highly suspicious. My oncologist has ordered a CT-guided liver biopsy, but due to the holidays it won’t be done until at least…
Is it worth it.
Starting this topic to share info about the new medication elacestrant. Elacestrant (ORSERDU) was recently FDA approved for ER+/HER2- MBC for patients with the ESR1 mutation. Just before it was FDA approved, I was able to obtain the drug through an expanded access program (thanks to WeninWI for the info!). The expanded…
Hi, I am having a tooth extracted soon and want to know if chemotherapy (I'm on Doxil now), affects the bone graft healing that is done during this surgery? I am not on any bisphosphonates or bone strengthening drugs, only Doxil. I will probably not have an implant, a bridge will not work, and just leave it open. I am 79…
As I haven't seen a specific page related to just Doxil treatment, I thought I'd start one because that is likely my next treatment progression and I've seen little discussion of it here. So, who has been on Doxil? What were the SEs? How did it affect you after the treatment, i.e. how long were you not feeling well or…
After 7.5 years on Ibrance & Letrozole I had slight progression. A blood biopsy was ordered and I remained on I/L. I had developed great pain in my shoulder and this was found to be cancer. Blood biopsy reported ERS1 & PIK3CA mutations. I completed 5 rounds of radiotherapy to the shoulder and 2 days later on 29th of March…
Hello-I’ve just started DATROWAY and have finished my second cycle with adverse side effects. I’m wondering if anyone has had the same experience and asked their oncologist about dose reductions, etc. to mitigate these. Thanks so much!
I was told I’d keep my hair but it started dropping out fast. Looking back it may have helped keep more hair had I not brushed as aggressively, started modest iron supplements before iron & other numbers dropped requiring one transfusion. And switched hair products sooner. I think it would have prevented or slowed hair…
