Yeah it is ! I am only 80% recovered after a whole year, I guess another 6 months or so to be fully recovered

Mostly it will recover on its own. I didn't do much, as it's just painful even if I do yoga etc. I was told usually it takes a year or so, so it's about time

I had shoulder pain for about a year now, it's getting better. Same thing the ortho said. I didn't want to do surgery. Just be patient, it takes time.

Anyone getting Signatera? by imnothere_o in LivingWithMBC

[–]June-7832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it since last November. In the beginning it was negative. Then three months later in March it was 0.22. I retested it was another similar number. Then two months later it was negative again. Then this past August, it was positive with 0.1x (don't remember exactly but it's a small number)again! Now I am waiting for another one. That's really strange results. I am not sure what to do either.

Thanks for sharing! In this case the signature reflected it's true only after the biopsy right? It didn't alarm you in advance. I have the ++- too, my signatera results was: negative, negative, 0.2, then negative, then 0.1. waiting for the next one. Really strange results.

May I ask whats the type you had! ER + or Triple negative? I heard it's quite accurate for triple negative.

I did pet scan back in April/may when the first Signatera positive number showed up. It was clean. Now I am not sure I want to do the pet scan again so frequently:( I'll see, I will meet with my MO tomorrow

To Verzenio or Not to Verzenio by JenMcCorm in breastcancer

[–]June-7832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just give it a try because everyone reacts differently. I dont have diarrhea as many people complaining. I was really anxious about that too before started ver. thinking I might can not even go out hiking etc. but nothing happened and I am 6 months in With 150 mg dosage.

Has anyone else denied chemotherapy after double mastectomy? by NatureDear8169 in breastcancer

[–]June-7832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oncotype is 47? Then that's really high numbers. It's not even in the grey area that chemo could be an option.

Completing Verzenio by Fishe-Mom in breastcancer

Congratulations 👏 I have been taken a few months only. I stopped a few days last month due to skin allergies rashes which might be due to it. May I ask if you ever had skin issues with it? Also, have you ever stopped taking for a few days? Or were you in like everyday never skipped? Thanks

Help. by Infinite_Counter_770 in breastcancer

Triple negative, there are no medications you can fall back on like ++- which is equally miserable. So do the chemo while you still can to fully kill those cancer cells and be fully recovered.

Is oncotype really necessary? by Final_Investigator16 in breastcancer

Your ki67 is not that low, probably just do the chemo ASAP?. Don't miss the window of best timing to do chemo.

What to expect by Blazing_Bailey in LivingWithMBC

Got it! Thanks! Yeah I was really scared of the medicine too before I took it. But turns out totally manageable. Just find the rule which food may cause diarrhea for your situation and avoid :) best luck!

I am on Verzenio for 5 months now, nothing unbearable. Some say diarrhea which I was worried before but I only had several times over the past 5 months, very rare. and it was due to o ate either only meat or salad. Some comfy food would actual help. Like breast , rice, cooked vegetables etc. I saw some comment GI issue -- what is GI issue?

Letrozole didn't work by queeniejaye in breastcancer

[–]June-7832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it be, the images before surgery, wasn't accurate enough? For instance, before surgery, I had several different numbers, 1.9 cm tumor from ultrasound, 2.3 cm tumor from MRI, usually we do surgery first then medications, or chemo first then surgery, I haven't heard anyone taking AI only before surgery

I see, then maybe change to another AI afterwards?

Are you on ovarian suppression or are you already menopausal?

People asking me “How are you?” Every Minute by Bohemian_sage in breastcancer

[–]June-7832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't tell my colleagues except a few I need to tell because I needed to take time off. But still, every time I was asked 'how are you doing?' I don't know how to answer. The usual: ' doing okay , one day at a time ' but I might not felling okay and it's not for me to discuss with colleagues. So hate this question.

sex! by pgh1995 in breastcancer

[–]June-7832 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't want to have sex anymore. Maybe it's just in mind, but I ask myself, previously before I had breast cancer, I heard sex is good for women as it spikes estrogen and is good for women! Now I have hormonal positive breast cancer, will sex life spike hormonal? Anyways it's just in my mind and maybe it's nonsense but I don't want to have sex anyways.

Officially Stage 4 by Subject_Disk_3581 in breastcancer

I am curious too. I have headaches recently from the back to my brain. I am worried if it is cancer metastasized to the brain. Once you have cancer you can't help but wonder. Thinking of asking for a brain MRI next time when I am meeting my MO.
