HANG IN THERE, THIS IS YEAR 7 FOR ME WITH STAGE IV,
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ON CHEMO DRUGS, FEEL FINE, FEW SIDE EFFECTS, SO JUST CONTINUE ON WITH YOUR LIFE!

Hi Empress! I'm stage 4, too, and was diagnosed 7 months ago. What is adjuvant therapy? I started with 2 mo of chemo, but switched to femara estrogen blocking pill after that cause my major lung tumor grew during chemo. Even that is a little uncertain because of the timing of the tests. Holding steady on femara except for vertebrae cancer lesions. They are either increasing or the earlier tests (ct and pet) didn't show them, whereas, the recent MRI's did. My hair is growing back, I have trouble with being dizzy and weak sometimes, and I have to baby my back. So sorry I can't scrub floors or do yard work anymore (ha)! A silver lining to my cloud.

We are all here to listen and help, if we can, because at some point and time in each of our lives we have been in your situation. Please don't be afraid to ask questions either. No question on this site is silly or dumb. We all have questions we would like other opinions on or answers to. There are so many nice people here that it has helped me get through my fears I had when I was DX'd with DCIS. Good luck in the future.
