Has anyone just stopped all treatment because it became too much? Te treatments seem to make it worse instead of better. I have stage 4 breast cancer that has spread to both lungs and lymph nodes. The tumors have gotten larger instead of shrinking. Was on kiquaii for a year and it seemed to keep it from spreading for a few months but then it stopped working after a year. I had a port put in and had one infusion of enhirto and landed in the hospital two times by ambulance with dehydration, low potassium, low magnesium, etc. my body seemed to take a beating that I haven’t been able to recover from. I am on 24 hour oxygen and am having difficulty breathing when walking a few steps even. Just wondered if anyone had made a choice that it was too much. Be gad to hear of anyone else’s journey. Thank you.

Hello ladies, I was wondering what you’re doing for the side effects of AnaStrozole? Mine problem I’m having is a super stiffness in my legs, mainly my thighs and then at night the ache for hours, but it’s making it hard for me to walk and get up from sitting I’ve heard some women take a Claritin and tart cherry the juice and the pill and it’s helping them anybody else. Have any suggestions or something? They’re trying that’s working thank you. 👏🏼🩷

It’s day 5 post my 3rd chemo session and my tummy has been bothering me. I’ve been in and out of the restroom. It’s not hardcore diarrhea but there’s definitely something. Sore tummy comes and goes. I take pantoprazole daily since I started chemo. Tried greek yogurt - it calmed for a while but it went on again. Helppppp.

I had a mastectomy in 2019 and just had a recurrence in that same breast. I went through radiation after mastectomy and was on Tamoxifen, had extended it out for 7.5 years when the recurrence occurred. Radiation being recommended again and another 5 years of medications. Anyone been through this and not do radiation and/or meds again?
