Grand Rising! We are here. Fighting, thriving, surviving. Diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2024. I now am on a new treatment Herceptin, Perjeta and Taxol. I received that every 3 weeks and receive the Taxol twice a month. I am on my 7th infusion. Just started having a new pain in my hip which is very uncomfortable. Had an x-ray and MRI. It states that I have stenosis arthritis and Spurs on my L3 and sacrum. My Liver Markers have went up again. It's about that time to do my every 3 months PET scan in September. Standing in faith and being strong-willed. Being an advocate for myself and doing the work. It's a hard way to go with cancer overall. But we have to stay positive stay hydrated stay eating clean and being and learning how to be emotionally intelligent. It's always something new to learn about yourself everyday. We Stand In Optimal Health!🌷🩷

Your positive spirit and advocacy for yourself really shine through. Hip pain can definitely be challenging to manage alongside treatment, and it's great that you've already had imaging done to understand what's happening. Many find that a combination approach works best - this might include physical therapy, gentle movement when possible, heat/cold therapy, and working closely with both your oncology team and possibly a pain specialist who understands cancer treatment. Your upcoming PET scan will give your medical team important information to help guide your care. Keep advocating for yourself and don't hesitate to discuss all your pain management options with your healthcare providers.
