Re: Kadcyla - Scotland

That's great news Juls. On another note, I haven't been reacting that great to Kadcyla. Most people have no side-effects from this drug, but not me. Of course I'd have to be different!

Re: Brief Update

Thanks Spring. I’m glad to hear that you staying the course and doing 12 treatments of Taxol. I know it’s a lot, but, it’s worth it.

Re: Brief Update

Thanks Pam. I agree, and am going on another trip at the end of September, and am already planning two more for next year. Let’s hope the T-DM1 works so I’ll still be around and able to travel.

Re: Brief Update

On another note, Thursdays are normally my worst days for chemo side-effects, however, so far, I don’t have any side-effects from the T-DM1. I’ll have to wait until tonight to see if I can get any...

Re: Brief Update

Thank Amy,

I learned after I had my recurrence that no one will advocate for me but me, and that I need to be on top of things. After finding out about my Atelectasis, I’ve decided that I need to...

Re: What’s the next step once Perjeta/Herceptin and T-DM1 stop working?

I went for my first treatment of T-DM1 yesterday. This drug will be a lot easier for me to tolerate, and does not need any pre-drugs like steroids or Benadryl. It will also only take 30 minutes to...

Brief Update

Hello all, I’m back from a great vacation, and was able to enjoy most of it because of the pain meds I was taking. Unfortunately, they did have some side-effects such as nausea, lack of appetite,...

Re: Back Pain

Hi Vinatera, at my clinic, it takes about two weeks to get CT scan results back. That’s because the radiologists are behind. I usually get other test results within a couple of days. Of course, I...

Re: Back Pain

Hi Paul, thanks for the suggestion, but I’m leaving for Europe tonight, so there’s no time for me to try homeopathic medicines before I leave. The Prochlorazine is helping with the nausea though, so...

Re: New Plan

This is a hard decision to make, and only one that you can make Amy. I agree with Becky though. I would sign up for the trail, and, if it isn’t going well for you, you can always go back to...

Re: Laurie7 has died

I didn’t know Laurie, but I’m very sorry to hear that she’s passed away at such a young age. My condolences go out to her family. It’s so sad.

Re: Back Pain

Paul, my doctor mentioned MS Contin to me right away, even before I had a chance to ask her about it, and that’s what I’m taking. I started it last night, and it made me very nauseous, even with...

Re: Back Pain

Hi Paul, no one has mentioned a TEMS machine to me, so I’m not sure if it will help. I have a massage appointment tonight, so I can ask about it. I’m not sure if she will have one though. I went...

Re: Back Pain

Hi Juls, so far, the breathing technique seems to be helping with my cough and chest congestion, but it’s not helping with the pain. I had to take two Percocet when I got home from work last night...
