sorry am new to all this so million questions, I am sure you have all been in same situation at some point

I have Fybromyalgia and IBS and several annoying conditions that stem from it all, as well as Breast Cancer ER-positive. Is there anyone else who has this combination? I would like to ask a few questions regarding treatment effect? wether it increased Fybro symptoms or IBS.

I actually went 2 years before getting diagnosed as the Fybro etc symptoms caused similar problems, my tumour happily grew as I put it down to costro side of Fybromyalgia. So will be going on Fybro sites to give a warning to not be complacent and put it all down to Fybro,

Hi Julie Too

My story on profile if you wish to read just click on name

sorry you find yourself here but best place to be for advice . Hopefully you’ll get some posts from fellow sufferers of your conditions .

I wanted to add that I have Diverticular disease mistaken for IBS as same sort of symptoms this led to a bowel resection years ago ( no bag )

After my MX in 2019 when I discussed treatment plan with oncologist bowel problems were mentioned .Oncologist immediately changed plan so that I didn’t have Docetaxel chemo as it can have bad affect on bowel .
Consequently although Chemo not easy I wasn’t having to cope with aggravated bowel issues in fact . In actual fact chemo seems to have settled some of the symptoms.

Worth discussing fully with onco the affect on bowel . There are so many combinations they will spend time finding what suits you best

best wishes

One step at a time and ...Breathe !

Definitely talk to your oncologist re bowel condition. I had constipation throughout my chemo which I had to take laxatives for.
