Epigenetic therapy (decitabine) shows promise for endocrine-resistant breast cancer
Using a low dose of the epigenetic therapy drug decitabine, which is currently used to treat some blood cancers, the researchers significantly suppressed the growth of endocrine resistant
breast
tumours
in mice and increased survival time by 90%.

Could Morphine accelerate prostate cancer progression?
I was looking up wether morphine can activate mast cells and found the following: “We demonstrate that morphine does not influence cancer initiation, but it stimulates the progression of spontaneously developed
breast
tumours
and shortens the survival of tumour-bearing mice.

update on switching to digoxin from lopressor
Stopped digoxin this am and starting back on lopressor. bad heartburn and nausea just kept getting worse. Lots of hydrating and will explore ablation. Really felt sick on digoxin. Although don't feel generally great this was really not a good experience.

New DX
I am a 76 yo woman. I was DX in 2016 and was in a trial at MD Anderson from 2017-2019. I achieved UMRD at the end of the trial of Ibrutinib and Venetoclax. I remained in total remission until my first visit after my husband died from Alzheimer’s in Oct 2021. Since then it’s been downhill. Dr Wierda

mastectomy now tamoxifen
I’m 48 and just had a double mastectomy almost 4 weeks ago. My bc tumor was 1.2 cm and ER/PR positive and HER 2 negative with an onco type score of 21 and nymph nodes were negative. I was hoping I was done with treatment, but was told I need to take tamoxifen. I read a lot of horrible stories about

Hay fever medicines
I continue to have badly blocked ears and a runny nose for several weeks. I’ve only managed to see paramedics rather than a GP about it. I haven’t used any nasal sprays (other than saline) but would like to try anti-allergy medication such as antihistamine. Yet I’ve read that “A few common stimulating

What next? re maintenance for HGS recurrence
Would love to know if any ladies who has also been unsuccessful with Olaparib, what has been a successful maintenance for you? I’ve just got 2 cycles more of Carbo/Caelyx, min scan showed slight reduction not as good as hoped for. Only maintenance mentioned by oncologist is to go on Letrozole. I

how much to raise by?
I’m taking tamoxifen for breast cancer. It had impacted thyroid levels in the autumn but I only adjusted by a little. Latest test was tsh 5.17 and t4 17 (not taken that day) on 125 for 3 days a week and 100 for 4 days a week. Obviously I’m not very with it now. I think it has been like this for

Letrozole
I saw the oncologist yesterday to discuss radiotherapy and hormone therapy.The plan for radiotherapy is on hold ATM because I have an ongoing issue with a seroma on the breast and underarm. During the meeting she said she would give me a prescription for Letrozole, I told her I wasn't happy to start

Oil of Evening Primrose
I had a lumpectomy last May. It was a small ductal carcinoma which was invasive. I went on to have Radiotherapy and started a five year course of Letrozole. I developed bad joint pain and I had a month off to see if the Letrozole was the culprit. It was better but not gone. The oncology nurse suggested

Question about tumor markers
Hi there, happy spring to all!! My Mom’s been doing well with trial med in combination with Faslodex monthly. Her blood work has been normal with good liver function. Her tumor marker test (the CA 15-3) test showed in the 350 range. I’m not sure it’s ever been that high but it was in the 150 range

Exemestane and Afinitor
Hi everyone I just completed 1 month of Truqap. I had to stop treatment due to a cough and a horrible rash. I had to stay in the ER for 24 hours due to the rash. I am now moving on to Exemestane and Afinitor. I would so appreciate any experience that anyone has had on these 2 meds. I’m mostly interested

Breast dimpling post Lumpectomy?
Hi there! Anyone notice breast dimpling after lumpectomy? It has been 6 months after my surgery and I’m seeing 2 distinct dimples showing in the surgery area. I’m thinking it could be from the scar tissue?

'Benign' cyst removed and has turned out to be in my bones and lungs and obviously in my skin. ER, PR + and HER-. All my research tells me I am doomed as skin mets are meant to be terminal?????? My oncology team were so upbeat, started on Letrozole and Ribociclib and Denosumab. I have no symptoms
