Stereotactic Radio

Going through breast cancer treatment Radiotherapy
1

Hi all. Diagnosed with EP Breastcancer in 2019 with 2 nodes. Chemo finished early in 2020 with covid. And just found out it’s back. In my spine. Found out today that I’m suitable for stereotactic radiotherapy that is described as “curative”. Does anyone have any experience of this please. Also on Fulvestrant and Ribo. Thanks all

I’d love to know more too as in a similar situation. Have 2 spots on spine and one on rib so starting fulvestrant and kisqali soon. No mention of radiotherapy yet anyway.

Tips for Fulvestrant injection - get them to hand them to you on arrival so you can warm them up in your hands. I bring a hot water bottle also to warm my back. Put your weight on the opposite leg you are getting injected so the muscle is relaxed. And tell them to go slowly and if u feel any discomfort ask them to slow down x

Alice,
Just wondering if you have had the Stereotactic radiation and how you got on?

Last month I was told I’d be put on Fulvestrant and Kisqali but the results of the spine biopsy are back and it’s a slow growing triple negative spine met even though original 2 cancers were ER+.
Now the onco is suggesting Stereotactic radiation after I have PET scan. She wants to me to go back on letrozole again though after a few weeks break as the cancer was ER+ originally.
