Hi everyone, first time posting. Grateful for this forum. I had stage 2B invasive ductile carcinoma in 2013. Just diagnosed this March 2023, with stage 4 breast cancer, metastatic adenocarcinoma, spread to bones, liver, lungs.
The pleural effusion, and subsequent thoracentesis, is the most uncomfortable, scary part (and how I was diagnosed, I had never heard of it before, and especially never knew it was a thing related to breast cancer). Doctor has me on letrozole and Ibrance.
The worst side effects are the fatigue and the headaches.
Any suggestions for relieving side effects most welcome!!!

I would recommend exercise, whatever you can do. In a counterintuitive way, the more active you are the less fatigued you feel. I try to do daily walks, vacuuming the kitchen everyday 😁, cooking and gardening.

I only have it in the lungs and it's sore when I breathe, but not enough for me to take anything. It does hurt more when I sneeze, but it goes away quickly. The doctor said I can use my Albuterol if needed. I will put you on my prayer list.
