@forza I cracked a rib during chemo, didn't even know it. The radiologists were worried for a while, but now they don't even mention it. It was determined to be a stress fracture. I was coughing a lot during chemo, and just feeling generally wretched anyway. My greatest hopes for a clean PET in June. f**k cancer and let's keep on hiking!

Hi all! You hiking gals are amazing! Keep on keeping on!! @forza @tougholdcrow
@livinglifenow @ssales13 @threetree @eleanora and everyone, I’ve been more of a reader than a poster for a bit now. I’m doing ok and may be in for some treatment changes. I am a bit unnerved. I’ll be in touch for your input if that happens. You have all been a wonderful resource and are so helping me. Please know that whether I post or not!
Wishing all a good holiday this week if you celebrate either! Best regards! juliana xox4 -
Hi @eddiej , @livinglifenow , @tougholdcrow , @eleanora , @aj and everyone! I just got on to check in with you all. I hope you all are having a nice Good Friday. I’m taking it easy this weekend and hanging around the house as next week I have blood work, a mammogram and my divorce on Friday. @eddiej Juliana, thinking of you as I might be having surgery and treatment change myself. It’s hard to not be unnerved . I completely understand.But I’ve been told we still have plenty of options right now. Hang in there I’ll be praying for you.

@tougholdcrow Thank you for asking about me! I appreciate it so much. Im doing ok. I’m sad about the divorce and feel abandoned and a little lonely but I know I’ll be ok and as far as surgery and possible change in meds a little nervous but trying to stay positive about everything and thankful for the wonderful people I do have in my life.

@ssales13 I hope you have a real shoulder to cry on because this is tough going. You have our virtual ones! I hope the change is ultimately for the better though it is sometimes hard to see when you're in the middle of it.

@livinglifenow , @aj , @tougholdcrow , @eleanora , @eddiej Hey Ladies! Hope you all are having a great day. Well I made it through my divorce and had all my tests done and seen my MO yesterday. I had progression to 2 lymph nodes under my arm so treatment change for sure. Had genetic testing done I have the PTEN mutation so I’ll be taking TruGap and fulvestrant. Waiting for approval through insurance to start.

@ssales13 I hope the new treatment gets this thing under control for a long time, though I know this must be scary. You have been through a lot, and now I hope that life offers you some happy and loving times. May your friendships be a blessing.

Congratulations on navigating the storm. Hope the new treatment is effective with few to no SEs. I have been on fulvestrant for 4 years now and the injections become easier with time.
See my MO on Friday and may be joining you on the treatment change. My testing showed no actionable mutations, so most likely switching to Verzenio.
