I was diagnosed with primary breast cancer then that the lung lumps were also primary. Palbociclib was keeping the 3 breast lumps in check so I had the lower lobe of my left lung removed and two rounds of chemo which was halted when I had to have an infected appendix removed. Three lumps were then found in my left lung so I am now in my fourth cycle of Docetaxel with a week of Zarzio jabs for blood marrow. I have a lot of side effects from the Zarzio, so my three week cycle consists of 10 days of insomnia, low blood pressure, nausea and fatigue with a great improvement over the last ten days. I have two more cycles left and a CT scan shows good results. Is anybody else having similar treatment?
Hello Smartgran
I have just read your post and am so sorry that no one has responded to your questions. I can't answer them myself as I am from the Prostate Cancer forum, however by me replying it will "bump" your post back to the top of the forum and with luck you will receive some answers to your questions.
