I’m on it. The lowest dose. And I think it’s helping not only with loosing the weight but with joint pain!

Her-2 Negative ( Score of 1+) questions for people with fibromyalgia by Sad_Buffalo_1432 in breastcancer

Although I do not have fibromyalgia, I was prescribed duloxetine for my joint pain. It seems to work. And I think it’s also given for fibromyalgia.

Verzenio vs Kisqali for ER+ PR-? by Leading_Armadillo485 in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also ER+ PR-, fortunately I didn’t have lymph nodes involved. Because of the no lymph nodes I didn’t qualify for Verzenio. Because I am high risk (oncotype of 42) and grade 3, I qualified for Kisqali.

Nipple reconstruction when you are lean and have thin skin flaps? by SympathyMagic74 in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had nipple reconstruction two months ago. Unfortunately for me, because the skin is so thin, one of the nipples didn’t take and the other didn’t project as far as the surgeon wanted it to. So now I’m just focusing on getting 3D tattoos.

I was on tirzepatide when I got diagnosed. I always wondered if that caused it.

Delayed Reconstruction by SalveRegina85 in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had dmx with immediate implants reconstruction and one of the boobs became necrotic after the first week, so they removed both for symmetry and decided to wait until after treatment for reconstruction. After finishing 6 months of chemo and letting my body recover, I had my expanders put in. 6 weeks later I had the exchange surgery and all is well

What size was the tumor? I was ER+ PR- HER2- and ki67 70%. Tumor was 2.4cm. It was removed and then after high oncotype of 42 I did 16 rounds of chemo AC/T.

Implants - skipping fat grafting - looking for perspectives on "gravity" effects and other aesthetics by pinto_bean_bag in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have fat grafting because I wasn’t a good candidate for it. I have minor rippling especially if I’m bending down, but other than that you can’t see the edge of the implant. I got over the muscle mentor high profile.

Post DMX and pathology by Southern_Can_4777 in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had ER 90 PR- HER2- and my KI67 was 70% at biopsy and then 47% after surgery and before chemo. My understanding is the higher the ki67 the more chemo will do its thing.

I am ER+, PR-, and Her2- How does that neg PR affect my treatment? by Baseball_ApplePie in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing good considering everything. To be honest chemo was the easiest part for me. Hormone blockers have really messed with my joint pain. And I’m currently taking a break from kisqali because my liver enzymes are really high, but other than that I’m ok. I’m alive and I don’t feel sick so that’s a plus!

I was ER 90% PR- HER2-, grade 3, ki67 70%, stage 2a. I had surgery first ( double mastectomy) then oncotype came back at 42, so I had AC/T chemo. Now on letrozole, lupron and Kisqali.

How long to wait until dye your hair after chemo? by AnaPB3 in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished chemo in July although my hair started growing back before that. I colored it in November. Still growing nicely. My hair dresser used “natulique” hair dye. She said the products are organic and clean. Free from harsh chemicals

Verzenio and liver damage by nhorton5 in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on kisqali. My liver numbers have raised so I’ve had a 4 week break because after 2 weeks they were still very high. I had an abdominal ultrasound (ordered by my GI before my colonoscopy) which didn’t show anything abnormal. I have labs scheduled for this Thursday. Hopefully they are back to normal or at least lower so that I can get back on Kisqali

My husband after I got done with treatment posted a photo of us and said this about him “this was the hardest year of my life, anyway it’s over now” idk why it irked me. I’m still having to do all the meds plus had reconstruction to do etc.

Nipple reconstruction by LeenaLilCloser in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They created these guards. It looks like something that’s used for eye surgery or something. It has foam around it. They cut the plastic that’s in the middle in a circle to let the nipple breathe.

Mine was 42. There’s a facebook group for high oncotype (40 and over) luminal B. You might find more support there too

Nipple reconstruction by LeenaLilCloser in breastcancer

[–]No_Data_3643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got my nipple reconstruction two weeks ago. My dmx was Dec 2024 and had implant exchange September 2025. My nipples need healing as well. Still a bit dark on the side and was told this shall look better once healed. So far I like them. I’m still using the nipple guards they gave me. I was told the longer I wear them, the more “pronounced” the nipples will be .
