Hello, looking for support with metastatic breast cancer spread to the brain.
Hi Tina25f87f52 . Sorry to hear your BC has spread. I'm not from this group so not much help, but noticed your post has slipped past without a reply. Just giving it a bump to lift it back to the top and hopefully someone with experience will pick it up. I hope all goes well for you. Best wishes.
Hi, following a year of treatment for my initial diagnosis which included chemo, bilateral mastectomy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy I diagnosed with metastasis to my lungs and brain lining possibly not the same as yours?
the metastatic diagnosis was in April 23, (initial diagnosis was November 21)
I have been on Enhertu since my 2nd diagnosis and I honestly count my blessings every single day, I have full body CT every 3/4 months and the Enhertu is doing a good job of keeping everything in .
I know we are all different and I don’t know when your diagnosis was but I’m hoping I can offer you some positive thoughts.
I lead a very full, active and busy life.
sending positive vibes and virtual hugs xx
Hello
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis but great to hear the Enhertu is actually working. I have had my 2nd round last week and going for scans after my 3rd so just hoping it is working on my brain.
Thank you for replying and take care.xx
Hi also seeking some general information support and advice with this diagnosis. I have had 5 radiotherapy treatments to the tumours in my brain almost 3 weeks ago. I am to continue on 3 weekly Phesgo as this is keeping the cancer the breast and lungs controlled for over 4 years. I have also been changed to Examestane from Letrozole to help reduce spread. Still extremely fatigued and sense of taste not returned as yet. Hopefully once the steroids finish next week I will feel a bit more like myself.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
