Breast Cancer...stage 2 Oestrogen receptive

Hi All.

Diagnosed with Breast Cancer stage 2 with breast lump and lymph node cancer. Waiting on CT and MRI results to determine treatment plan.  I am on hormone therapy at the moment, Leprazole which is giving me awful heart burn and Acid reflux.  Does anyone else have these side effects. Be great to hear. Many thanks. Daisy M

  • Hello  

    A warm welcome to the Community.

    I have just read your post and although I understand your issues, I have a different cancer and can't answer your post or give you advice. However the Community is divided up into cancer specific chat rooms or forums.

    May I suggest you join the Secondary breast cancer forum . You can do this by clicking on the link I have provided for you. Once the page opens up just click on "join" on the black banner at the bottom of the page and then why not introduce yourself to the group. You can then either copy and paste your post or repost it.

    I am sure there will be plenty of people there who have had the same issue who will be able to help you through this difficult time.

    If I can do anything else for you please don't hesitate to contact me.

    Best wishes - Brian.
