How to treat recurrent breast cancer with one kidney?
Community Member
a day 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?$
