My wife found a new lump in her collar bone lymph nodes just prior to Xmas was confirmed in ct scan but no further mets I don't know if this is classed as local or not.
Was told it was inoperable ? was then put directly onto trodelvy finished second round today.
What I am asking is why inoperable if anyone knows and also is trodelvy indefinite, she seems to be coping well so far fatigue and constipation being her only side effects any feedback is more than welcome
Her first chemo had no effect and she is tnbc
A very worried husband
Hi I am on Trodelvy. It is a very harsh Chemo has given me bad Diarrhoea, and Breathlessness. Like your wife i could not be operated on due to having Secondry Cancer. With Surgery you can get Surgery Trauma. Minute particles can break off and stay dormant in the body for a while. Then suddenly come back with a vengence causing Terminal Cancer. I have Matastisized Secondry Cancer and Trodelvy as harsh as it is can deal with this. Even though it is the only Chemo that i have been rough on. You can always read on Cancer research site about both Trodelvy and Surgery Trauma might help.
