Thanks for the reply Helen. I, too, get slight stabbing pains but in the armpit and when this was coupled with new breast pain fibrocysts were discovered in the lumpectomy breast. Cutting back on the caffeine helped but the occasional stabbing pains continue. When I reach up high sometimes I get a very sharp pain along the chest wall. My energy level is only about 80% of what it was before all this started. Hope all goes well with you. - Reply to this post - View

colcaitsoph, my husband though not a health nut never smoked ever and has stage 4 nonsmall cell lung cancer with mets to the bone. His dx. came six months after your husband's diagnosis. He will have his 2nd chemo on Thursday. How's he doing now? - Reply to this post - View

Trish V started discussion "Port for chemo/ herceptin - recovery of insertion? exercise restrictions?" in group Breast Cancer at 4:49 pm, April 2nd, 2013
After 4 chemo treatments, have experienced some issues with IV, so it became apparent a port is necessary (2 treatments to go, then mastectomy, radiation, and Herceptin will continue through January). I am adjusting and trying to understand the immediate after effects/ recovery and limitations (when can I run and swim again? can I travel 2 weeks after insertion?), and also they plan to infuse the same day - did that cause problems for anyone? any complications in general with the port? - Reply to this post - Vie w

|I too turned 50 and was diagnosed that July 2010,but I had a colonoscopy in January 2009 and it was negative, go figure!! Anyhow pre chemo then permanent colostomy, Then full right side of liver removed.Then the Ct showed mets to lungs so chemo 2011 and a break and chemo 2012 with blood clots showing up on my lungs in November 2012 Only this last chemo has hit me hard. I now have to give myself daily belly shots of blood thinner! There always seems to be something, however I have been on FulFuri for each of my chemos and the tumours always shrink so far. so winter chemo for the rest of my life.Would love a miracle but this new drug sounds scary - Reply to this post - View

From the Oncologist and now we just received the "Regorafenib Patient Starter Kit". the most alarming alert is "liver problems that can lead to death", the colon cancer has metastatic to the liver, however, the liver function labs are still normal... One more question, is it true that 90% of all chemo patients have blood clots at some point during their chemo treatments? Thank you! - Reply to this post - View

Herman, It appears that there may be a handful of clinical trials for your wife's diagnosis that are currently in 'recruiting' status. If you complete a quick search at www.clinicaltrials.gov it displays the list of all the trials available and the status and details for each. You might also search the NCI site (as mentioned above) at http://www.cancer.gov/

Jean during my first bout with BC I went through lumpectomy and 37 sessions of radiation. At that time, my surgeon discussed with me my options. When recurrence I thought long and hard about the type of mastectomy to have. I decided to do both because after the lumpectomy my breast were totally different sizes and texture. I was also afraid that the cancer would come back in my non-cancerous breast. I know this doesn't specifically answer your question, but I was afraid I would regret not getting both done during one surgery. I also choose to complete reconstruction - a long but, worthwhile process. My breasts still aren't identical because of the radiation to my right breast, but I am not worrying every day [...] - Reply to this post - View
