Carolyn you will be fine hun, as letrozole girls are tough old bird’s!!! Xxx
Hi Carolyn
Glad you have a scan booked and you get to see your onc soon after it is not too far away. Also thanks for putting it on here sometimes it is hard keeping up with ladie’s scans.
Love and (((hugs))) xxx
Hope all hoes well for you Carolyn.
I get my results on 23rd May. I’ve now changed onc. Had a stupid letter today saying I’ve been taking off bookings list and being referred back to my gp! They will get a roasting tomorrow, I haven’t asked to leave our hospital trust, just change onc. The letter came with my apt for new onc. Their right hand doesn’t know what their left hand is doing. I really don’t need the stress of them being so stupid too. Eh oh, part of it all I suppose.
Take care xxx
Hi Deedeepuss
I hope you sorted the admin out at your hospital and I hope your new onc will be much better than your last one.
Best Wishes for good results on the 23rd will keep fingers crossed for you.
Love an (((hugs))) xxx
Seeing Oncologist tomorrow for Ct scan results, currently on Exemestane and Denosumab for pleura,lung and bone mets. My concern is that I had PleurX catheters inserted for persistent pleura effusions which we are draining every 4 days at the moment and the fluid is not decreasing, in fact it has increased today. Which to my way of thinking means that not only is the disease not being controlled on present treatment but may be worsening. I am feeling a little bit anxious now of tomorrow’s results. Ann xx
Hi Ann
I am sending (((hugs)))) for tomorrow I hope it is not what you are dreading it to be. I wish I could reassure you your pleura effusion but I have not had any experience in that area. But we always dread the worst when scan results are due especially if your condition seems to be getting worse.
Good luck for tomorrow let us know how you go on and try to relax

Hiya Ann

Loads of hugs xx
Thank you all for the (hugs) and support. Ann xx
Anneemay…best wishes for tomorrow for you❤ sharonx
Hi Anneemay, I’m sending you all my best wishes and positive vibes for tomorrow. xxx
Anneemay, just seen your post. By now you will have had your results and i pray they have gone your way.
I too have had 2 recent pleural effusions and know how you feel. The pain and breathlessness is horrendous isnt it? I had a chest drain and pleurodesis after each one and i dont know if the second one has worked to make my breathing better or it is the new chemo i’m on (carboplatin) that has eased the problem. The fluid in the pleura was malignant but i was told my lungs were ok…i’m not realy sure about this.I asked about treatments should the effusion happen again and was told i could have a permanent catheter bt this would preclude me from any further chemo (assuming there is any) or their was a procedure called vats but that this was quite major and invasive??
Any info/advice you can share would be great.
Best wishesxx
Ann, thank you so much for the info…you have indeed put my mind at rest. At the moment my breathing is still better…not using the oxygen much now but dont do much to exert myself. I too dont think i could colpe with another effusion so will definitely bear all your info in mind should i ever need further treatment. xx
Dear Ann
Congratulations with your scan results really pleased for you
