Hi all
My breast cancer Journey started January 2002 when I had a lumpectomy and 9 lymp nodes removed of which one was positive.
20 sessions of radiotherapy then Arimadex for 5 years.
Everything was fine until January 2020 (beginning of lockdown) I was in agony with pains in my feet and legs.I phoned my doctor I couldn't get an appointment to see him, I was prescribed codeine, which didn't do any good so back on the phone again to doctor, I was given appointment to see physiotherapist but by the time my appointment was due we were in lockdown, so it was a telephone consultation, he sent me exercises via the internet, I was diagnosed with Siatica.
I was in touch with my doctor by phone as pain was no better but told just to increase my painkillers.
August 2020 lockdown was easing off so I phoned physiotherapy again to tell him my symptoms were getting worse and coud I have a scan he said he didn't have the power to send me for a scan so organised another phone consultation with a consultant physiotherapist who sent me immediately for an MRI which showed I had a tumor on my sacrum and also bone cancer which is stage 4 breast cancer. I was kept in hospital for 15 days and had radiotherapy to my sacrum.
I was prescribed Palbociclib and Letrozole which had worked well for nearly 2 years.
The last scan I had in October showed lesions on my liver, I have just started Capecitabine this week 1st December.
I was wondering if any of you ladies are taking Capecitabine if so is it working for you.
