Re: Help!! Need to shrink lymph node fast

They will first need to do a biopsy to determine if this is breast cancer or colon cancer. Ask them to run the molecular assay and chemo sensitivity test when they do the biopsy so you know what might work. Are you not eating because you can't swallow, because you are not hungry or ??? I lost 25lbs in just a couple of months but mine was a swallowing issue. Try to stop losing--you will need your strength and what I am finding is that it is very difficult o gain it back. Try drinking several Ensures each day. Each one gives you 350 calories. Right now put high calorie food items in your diet. They threatened me with a feeding tube and I said NO WAY.

I am on t-dm1 EAP. My coordinator told me it will be product by the end of the year so we'll see. If you are having a breast cancer recurrence, t-dm1 may be a perfect drug for you.

Good luck and do KEEP EATING.
