I have been diagnosed 2012 with secondary breast cancer with a lumpectomy in 2004. I started on Aromasin with a bone hardener. The cancer has been attacking the lower spine, so I have had 6 rounds of radiotherapy. The cancer is also in the skull, breast bone and the chest nodes which made breathing difficult.
For pain I use Lyrica and Fentanyl patches with break threw under the tongue tabs.
Further tests showed the cancer had moved to the liver and a couple of spots in the lungs. We switched to Taxol and it worked so well for a while. I live in Dublin and started the Taxol in a private hospital, but the journey became too arduous for myself and my husband.
I moved to a local hospital with an excellent chemo department and a good palliative care team. I had to give up the taxol in May , but after a new scan has started again with a new chemo calyx with a bone hardener injection.
The heart is still strong and the liver has stopped acting up.
I don 't really know of more to post drug wise. I went to Prague for a Christmas market, southern Spain with my brother, bristol to see y grand children and Devon with my daughter, son, and grandchildren. I am trying to do as much as possible but sometimes it doesn’t work and I have to take to the bed!
It’s getting late so I will try again tomorrow.
