Hi ladies, I’m reatively new to this forum & I wondered if any of you can advise with your combined wisdom!
I’ve had MX, ANC, FEC, rads and my onc is currently whizzing me through every chemo (Paclitaxel/Gem and now on CAP) possible - nothing agrees with me and I’ve had severe side effects with everything so far. Because chemo isn’t agreeing with me, my onc is keen to operate on a lump under my arm (they must have missed some nodes!) and also a small recurrence in my recontstructed breast. My currently very small mets are in my lungs.
I wondered if any of you have had surgery after a secondary diagnosis. I’m not convinced as I’ve heard that removing primary tumours can cause more mets? I’ve also come across research that suggests taking NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatories) such as Diclofenac can reduce risk of further mets. Would really appreciate your advice. Katherine xxx
