Should I take Tamoxifen with Kadcyla or wait until after?

I am on TDM1 (Kadcyla) for adjuvant treatment- HER2 + and ER+ - I have completed 3 cycles and have 11 more to go. My doc wanted to start Tamoxifen simultaneously and all research points to issues with this approach and instead suggest to do Tamoxifen after completing the immunotherapy. Anyone else have a similar experience? Thanks

Cancer treatment with one kidney - will chemo affect my kidney function?

I just received my diagnosis as triple positive. I saw the medical oncologist yesterday, 12/26. They are going to start TPHC the week of 01/12. I have lots of concerns but the biggest one is my single kidney. I’m a living donor so I only have one. Anyone here go through (or is going through) treatment with one kidney? How has it affected your before treatment kidney function? I’m so worried that treating the cancer is going to ruin my kidney function.

How do you navigate HER2+ metastatic breast cancer treatment options?

I have HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and I'm currently in third-line therapy. I've already received pertuzumab and ado-trastuzumab emtansine in my treatment journey. I just read about the FDA approving a new first-line combination therapy - Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan) plus pertuzuzumab - for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. While this doesn't directly apply to my current situation since I'm past first-line treatment, it seems like an important advancement that might influence future options. I'm curious to connect with others who have HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer to learn from your experiences. • Have you discussed newer HER2-targeted combinations with your oncologist, and how do you stay informed about treatment advances? • What has your treatment journey looked like, and what helped you navigate decisions between different therapy lines?

What's it like having hormone therapy plus HER2-targeted treatment?

I have hormone-positive and HER2-positive breast cancer. My oncologist mentioned that hormone therapy combined with HER2-targeted therapy might be a first-line treatment option for me. From what I understand, this approach combines endocrine therapy that blocks hormones with HER2-targeted drugs that specifically target the HER2 protein on cancer cells. There may also be bone therapy included to protect bones. I'd love to connect with others who have a similar diagnosis and hear about your experiences with this type of combination treatment. • What has your experience been like with hormone therapy plus HER2-targeted therapy? • What helped you manage day-to-day life during this treatment, and what do you wish you had known going in?

What treatments help with chemo neuropathy in hands and feet?

Has anyone found any worthwhile treatments for chemo induced neuropathy in their hands and feet? Tingling and some numbness appeared after my final (6th) chemo session. It has been four months since then with little to no change. I am starting to think this is my new normal. I can still walk, golf, play the piano, but I am worried it’s permanent. I did 9 sessions of acupuncture but didn’t see any major improvement.
