Hello @howardk

I am sorry to hear of your wife's diagnosis of breast cancer. This sounds very difficult to find the right chemo while having Parkinson's. On Connect, there is a discussion group where other PD patients have discussed taking chemo for cancer. Here is the link to that discussion

Have you considered getting a second opinion at a interdisciplinary medical center? Whenever you are facing a complicated health issue, a medical center like Mayo Clinic or a university medical school can be very helpful.

Chemotherapy advanced my wife’s Parkinson’s tenfold after just 3 treatments! Don’t do it!

Mayo has been out health care provider for 27 years. So far, they have not provided an answer to this situation.
