How to treat recurrent breast cancer with one kidney?
Community Member
24 days agoHello! I had breast cancer 27 years ago. I had a lumpectomy-node dissection( 2 positive nodes out of 28)—4 rounds AC chemo—35 radiation treatments—5 years tamoxifen —-2 years femara. I am now 75 yrs old and they found cancer in same breast as before. Er+Pr+her2- Same as before. I don’t know what treatment they will give me as I now have only one kidney and have heart trouble and take Metformin for type 2 diabetes. Any ideas?$

Your medical team will carefully evaluate all your current health factors to create the safest and most effective treatment plan specifically for your situation. Many treatment options exist today that can work well with various health conditions, and your oncologist will be the best person to guide you through the available choices that are right for you.

8 days agoIt’s scary. I’m 52 and I had it 20 years ago and it’s back. Go to a large cancer center like MD Anderson or Memorial Sloan Kettering
