Hi just diagnosed HER2 in left breast and lymph mood Im so scared had MRI breast scan last week, met oncologist yesterday told have to have 4 cycles of PTD then 3 of EC then surgery then radiotherapy also looming over me is PET scan I have coming up this weds I’m beside myself with worry that it’s spread.
she wants to get treatment started asap so looking like first cycle starts on Friday.
it’s all been such a whirlwind I can’t sleep.
Sorry to hear your diagnosis. I have secondary breast cancer in my lungs and lymph nodes. I have been taking 400 grs of ribiciclib and fulvestarant injections since December 2025.
I had an appointment with my oncologist team last week and it seems that my cancer has grown. I am also worried. I have just found a lump in my neck so I fear that the cancer is spreading. I am going to report the lump tomorrow and hopefully I can get a CT scan quickly. If the ribiciclib is not working then I hope that something else will.
Has anyone else had similar problems with ribiciclib not working?
Pauline
