Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Hi Flori;

So nice to hear from you. I haven't been too active on the board recently. I'm doing well with treatment but find the se's a bugger. I'm so sick of coughing and bloody, sore noses and...

Thank you everyone for your good wishes. I do so appreciate your thoughts. Please keep in mind this treatment for any triple positives here turning stage 4. I'm hoping it will work for a very long...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Laurel;

I'm pretty thrilled. These results will be confirmed with another scan early January. What's great is that this offers all hormone positives a great treatment option. I'll keep you all...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Just had another CT scan. It showed multiple small nodules and no comment on my previous tumours. I was confused and very anxious. Went to my oncologist yesterday afternoon and he went upstairs to...

Hi; I just saw that Lauren is doing very well on Ibrance and there's another Her2+ on the breastcancer.org site (Ibrance/Letrozole local) who is Her2+ and taking Ibrance/letrozole and herceptin. ...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Hi all;

Got some results from my genetic testing. I was tested for 17 genes and remain normal for all but still BRCA1 VUS. She is hoping for more information on this from the testing of my...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Hi all;

I'm very happy to report that the Ibrance/Letrozole appears to be working. I understand that you have to give this time so after three months (I just finished my 3rd cycle today) I am...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Flori;

Be sure to post the results of your scan and if there's a change to your pathology. Given that mine changed I know this can happen and it opens up lots of new treatments.

Thinking of...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Becky and Laurel;

Thanks so much. Apparently a similar situation with the rising CA125 was featured on Greys Anatomy a few weeks ago. I wish I'd seen it haha. I do hate being the "weird"...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

OMG I just got some fabulous news!! My CA125 was 292 in early March, 359 in April and today it had DROPPED to 62. This means (so far as we know) that it was high due to the bc mets in my lung...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

HAPPY HAPPY!!!

Bones scan is clear. No bone mets. I'm going to ask about going on actonel as I think that protects against getting them. See the onc on the 24th.

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Thinking of you SoCalGal. The biopsy results wouldn't take 3 months. The pathology report would only be likely 10 days. Then they send the specimen on for genetic testing. You could learn...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

I saw the geneticist yesterday. My oncologist is getting my tumours (ovarian and lung) genetically tested and he said that will take 2 months. In the meantime the geneticist yesterday is...

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

I updated my signature. Yes I was genetically tested after my ovarian diagnosis and they found a VUS (variation of unknown significance) on the BRCA1. This was basically a negative BRCA....

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs

Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs
