Hi my name is Lynnell. I was diagnosed with stage II hormone positive breast cancer in 2008. I had a double mastectomy and chemotherapy followed up with 5 years of arimidex therapy. In 2022 I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer. I have only had skin lesions (8) and tumors around my eyes. I’m currently taking Xeloda which has been fairly easily to. Has anyone else ever manage.
