I just got a packet of mail from my state disability determination services office, saying that they are reviewing my disability status. I was diagnosed with unnumberable bone-only mets in Feb 2020. I was on Kiquali/letrozole for about 4 years, and now I've sped through Orserdu, piqray, and now, Truqap just in this year.…
I am recovering from my third breast cancer dx and have been getting numbness and pain in my ribs, legs and hips. It gets worse at night when I lay down. During the day it doesn't bother me too much or stop me from going about my normal daily activities. I just had my normal bloodwork which was ordered by my cardiologist.…
As a 22+ year survivor of Stage 4 MBC de novo, I have been on Herceptin for about 21 years. I have not had any problems until about a year ago. During the infusion, I have chills and shaking. Sometimes it helps to request a warm blanket, hot cocoa and turning on the seat heaters. As soon as I leave the chemo center and if…

Hi everyone, my first dx was in 2018 (age 32) after self discovery. I had a Bi-lat mastectomy and had been on tamoxifen. Oncotype 11 so no chemo recommended. ER+/PR+. Chek2 positive. Feeling great with no symptoms, I did a Galleri test this October 2024, which came back with positive breast signal. CT scan w contrast…
Has anyone started to use RSO? I have mets again for the second time after a 2016 breast cancer dx. I had the lump taken out and the cancer was estr/proges + /her2-neg. I was taking anastrozal first for two years, 2019 it was the first met and then took ibrance/fasoldex, stage 4. The studies online with that mix states…
