Thank you so much for this detailed response; that really helps.
I was diagnosed in Feb 2019 with HER2+ breast cancer, thyroid cancer, NHL, and a groundglass on my lung. It was quite overwhelming and totally out of the blue because I've always led a healthy lifestyle, integrating all kinds of "anti cancer" foods and supplements in my diet. But being hit by an SUV (as a pedestrian) in 2012 really threw my system out of whack; I'm always wondering if that could have 'helped' to bring on the cancer.
I had chemo, then lumpectomy and radiation, and more 'chemo light'. I have chosen to watch the thyroid cancer (confirmed with a needle biopsy) and in the last PET it isn't even mentioned anymore: hurray! We are also watching the lung groundglass which has stayed stable. And I have 3-month labs and 6-month visits with my oncologist to follow the NHL. Since my neutrophils were 0.3 in Jan and I've been dealing with an infection of a lachrymal duct and I've been feeling very worn out, my oncologist put me on LevoFLOXacin for a week (not crazy about taking antibiotics, either): last pill today and a video visit with my oncologist. She also started talking about treatment with Retuxin and I came back here to find out more about it.
I had joined this board in 2023 for some research on aromatase inhibitors vs tamoxifen; I had first chosen Tamoxifen because of osteoporosis and high cholesterol, but after developing a blood clot we switched to AI. I tried all three, with problems sleeping and other side effects, and finally got off it last year - after doing a BCI test about which I learned here: thank you!!
