Hi,

Like everyone, this was a horrendous shock for me+ family.

I have had every test you can imagine including bone scans, CT scan 5 biopsies etc. I have fungating tumour which means it's growing outside the skin. Quite horrendous. Taking Letrozole and PALBUCICLIB. waiting to see if they have any effect, if not will have to be put on intravenous chemo.

Anyone had any of this?

  • Welcome to the forum Thessa although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    Hopefully some of our members who have heard or who are also contending with this will be along soon but do feel free to join in on any discussions you find about fungating tumours when using the 'search forum' in the blue bar above.

    Our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040 (Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m) if you'd like to chat with them about this as well.

    We'll have everything crossed that your current treatment will prove to be effective Thessa.

    Kind regards,
