Re: Approaching 5 yr cancerversary but running out of options

I'm so sorry for your recent news and progression. Like many others, I can't offer any advice because I think it's so personal. I know I told myself after my treatment that I could not/ would not do...

Re: Karen has moved on

Karen was a real fighter, but also was there for others who were fighting. This is such a loss and I'm saddened for all of us and her friends/ family.

Re: Exercise

Yep, exercise is a big one. I could never do that extensive of a program as I work 60-70+ hours/ week, but if it wasn't for work, I would be playing more. I know it helped my outcome. I was SO sick...

Re: When work really hits home

Thanks Bonnie but have decided to leave the HER group as of now. I live and work in horrible diseases and actually broke down at work because of frustrations. It's almost impossible for me to hear of...

Re: When work really hits home

Sorry to offend anyone. It's frustrating for us in the field of wanting to save lives (I've been doing this for 25+ years before my diagnosis). Language is dictated by FDA and associated...

Re: When work really hits home

Dr. Google did a good job. As we all know, Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab can stop working for HER2+ cancer. So this is a completely different mechanism that will be another choice for patients who have...

Re: chemo port

Too busy and lazy to have it removed. Doesn't hurt anything. When I catch a breath, I'll have it removed. I just turned 50 and now I have all kinds of other things to do like a uterine biopsy and...

Re: Avoid salad

You can still eat salad if you wash it at home. I stupidly ate at a salad bar during chemo and that night was in the hospital for four days. Personally, I avoided eating out all together after that...

Re: HER-2 Positive & Triple Negative = Cannabis Intervention

Re: HER-2 Positive & Triple Negative = Cannabis Intervention

Linn,

Not all types of pot have the same affect. I also hate the paranoid feeling but the variety I took during chemo did not do this at all. I bought about 4 kinds and then stuck with the one...

Re: Still severe afternoon fatigue daily after 4monthsTCH, 6months Herceptin only.

Re: HER-2 Positive & Triple Negative = Cannabis Intervention
