Leukemia risk higher in certain breast cancer chemotherapy treatments.

Unfortunately many of the adult acute leukemia patients I was treated with when I was fighting ALL, were breast cancer “survivors” 5+ years in remission after chemotherapy for breast cancer. The data generally reflects that these women were “cured of breast cancer as they were in remission for 5 years, but then the treatment gave them acute…[Read more]

This really is upsetting. This was not told to me as one of the side effects. I have to go in for a check up because I’ve got swelling around my lymph nodes near my collar bone which is a symptom of leukemia. The protocol for breast cancer treatment really needs to be evaluated because they haven’t changed it in decades and clearly are keeping…[Read more]

Breast cancer: Study identifies a molecular mechanism of drug resistance in ER+ tumors – Medical News TodayStudy suggests that a mechanism of drug resistance in ER+ breast cancers could be changes to the estrogen receptor caused by two immune system molecules.-
Well this makes me question why they are extending the length of this treatment from 5 years to 10 if most of us will become resistant. And this may have just finalized my decision to stop hormone therapy at 5 years.

Thank you Gracie for this post and comment! I agree that this makes no sense. Seems like they are extending this simply to collect data and learn more about the mechanisms, but what is in the best interest if the patients??

I am sorry Gracie! This is exactly why we so desperately need CrowdHealing! How do you feel duped? What were you told that wasnt true?
My oncologist definitely played the statistics game by saying there is a 40+% greater survival rate with taking tamoxifen etc. but what that really means is only a 1-2% difference from those that don’t. I would have never taken it for the last five years and I’m definitely not taking it for another 5. When so much is being thrown at you in a…[Read more]
