New here, generalized breast cancer and scared

Hi Veronique M 

I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

It's natural to be scared about the treatment that's proposed and hopefully someone from the group will be able to come forward and reassure you.

Wishing you all the best

Hi Veronique

I hope your doing ok today .

I have had 5 cycles of Trodelvy for Triple Neg BC, having spread to my spine and now my lungs Personally the main side effect was tiredness but after having the dosage reduced slightly this has made a big difference . Luckily I havent had any issues with nausea or  diahorea.

Keep strong  you can do this xx

Hello Veronique M. I empathise with you. I was diagnosed with incurable secondary breast cancer which had matastasised in my bone marrow with no primary last June and things looked grim with not a good prognosis of ' try and control'. At first the drug was sluggish in getting going by Sept things were looking up and my BB looks were improving. Then I went from strength to strength until New Year., but it list it's magic. CT scans showed that cancer had progressed and now in my sarum and pelvis, lymph nodes in my chest enlarged and fluid around my heart and in my left lung so on heart meds. I am waiting to start a combination therapy with potential horrendous side effects. My oncologist is great and I have been attending Day Hospice since last October. Yes I have very dark days when all I do is cry. Not having any control over what is happening to me is the worse. I know the inevitable is coming and I am not afraid of that but it is not knowing what is likely to happen on the journey there. This cancer is a bit a bit of a bugger which changes the rules whatever we do. Take care and be kind to yourself Veronique. Best wishes Magnolia51.
