Sorry to hear you recurred so quickly after first-line treatment. You have come to the right place to get your questions answered and to let loose with whatever is on your mind. You will find the group very supportive and helpful in answering any questions you may have.
It sounds like your Dr may be preparing for the approval of Elahere in Canada. That's great to hear!! There is definitely a positive buzz going about in the medical field about this drug. It has been brought up a couple of times on my recent visits to PMH.
Sending positive vibes your way 🙏.

Hello Strongwoman. This is my first post. I have been reading posts and discussion threads for a while now. So nice to have a Canadian group to follow. Sitting here finishing up chemo, as I write this. I am receiving my fourth round of doxil/avastin. Being treated for first recurrence, unfortunately only 4 months after completing frontline. Chemo seems to be slowing down cancer but not really treating it. Doctor is looking into clinical trials and requesting that testing be done on my tumour to see if has high folate receptors. If so, she will refer me for treatment with a fairly new treatment. I had initial diagnosis, biopsy at London Health Sciences, then 3 chemos at Grand River Hospital in Kitchener, surgery back in London and rest of treatment has been in Kitchener. I have received amazing care.
we are having a rainy day here in Kitchener. The hyacinths, daffodils and even a couple of the mini irises in my garden are blooming. Also having some lovely spring temperatures here. 😊

Hello Everyone,
Welcome to today's Teal Thursday. How is the day finding everyone? How have you been? Any updates you care to share?
Looking forward to seeing who is around today. It is a dull, rainy, cool day here in Ontario. Mother Nature is in one of her mood's again. What is the weather like there? The spring flowers are starting to bloom and get showy around here. Nice to see some colour out there.
Well, I will wait to see who is around and if anyone's up for talking.
