I have been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer 7 years ago had mastectomy axillary lymph nodes removal chemo and radiotherapy then targeted immunotherapy and when that stopped working on 3 weekly kadcyla since about 2 years metastases in mediiastinal lymph nodes regular pet scans showed no cancer activity so far
3 weeks ago had to stop kadcyla due long-term sideffects mainly liver fibrosis low platlets increased liver and renal enzymes next pet scan scheduled in 2 months to check if or cancer activity
I am just really worried what happens if cancer active again oncologist told me there would be oral medication available but was a bit vague about it now I am worried and anxious I asked them to be open with me and tell me if I have come to the end of the line as I would than change my current lifestyle but I suspect they are not open or honest
I still work almost full time but if I knew that's it I would want to make some significant lifestyle changes
Could someone be honest and direct with me what if any treatment options are available for me now I really need some honest information and despise that vague approach which is probably kind but doesn't help me
It makes me feel like a lamb gentley guided to slaughter please I need no gentle braking of bad news but facts and reality
Thank you so much if you could provide me with honest facts
