Hi there,
I have stage 3C endometrial cancer. Metastases has occurred since my my first and only series of pac/carbo (6-rounds). Apparently this means I'm platinum resistant. Doc thought putting me on hormonal treatment using Anastrozole (Arimidex). About 9% effective but doctor thought it might do 'something' so that I could go away for a few months at a time and take the the pills. Tried them for the first month at home and they didn't do a thing.
Special diet with any kind of HER positive cancer is mainly vegetarian -- no foods containing estrogens. Exercise when you can, even if it's just a short walk, and increase the level/time when you begin to feel better. Sleep when you feel tired.
I use a heating pad at night on and around pelvis, just because it's so comformy. Go to bed at the same time each night. I took zopiclone as a sleep aid only when I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn
t fall back to sleep. I always took melatonian-10mg--about an hour before betime too.
I don't take them now because I'm on a different cancer treatment and the oncologist forbids me to take 'cancer supplements", like melatonin, indole-3-carbinol, Naltrexon, Quercetin*, and turkey tail or reishi mushroom extracts. I discovered that Quercetin was a no-no for HER2 cancer.
While I was on these supplements I noticed that pain in my pelvis decreased and stopped some bleeding. While the pain hasn't increased since stopping, the bleeding has, a little bit.
As for the lungs: my last CT scan (one week ago) did show tiny spots, which the oncologist couldn't determine if they were cancer, or infection or something else. These spots appeared 10 months after my pac/carbo treatment ended. She said they're too small to treat. I assuming the new treatment regimen I'm on will address them if they are cancer.
The treatment I'm on now is ENHERTU.
Hope any of this helps.
