Thank you! Very helpful. I’m going to ask for a bone density test so I have an idea of where I started out versus after chemo, etc.

Thank you so much. I have finished chemo, but still so good to know these things!

BRCA anti neoplastic drugs meds side effects 😏🙏🌎💖

Doctor Griggs,what the difference between prolia denosumab injection and zometa?

had an IV with zometa, a good week ago ...before that i broke my shoulder and 1 got an dexascan, i have osteoperose -4,2 and - 3,1. I felt a little under the water for 2 days..But since i got the iv, my taste is lesser , a little weird taste? I first thougt it came a a side-effect for the 40 mg tamoxofin i have to take daily. I am 57

Hi Dr Griggs, thank you for your informative videos .I am on Anastrozole and have beginning osteoporosis, my Oncologist prescribed me Zometa I.V every three months (for now..) He prepared me for the side effects,(flu like symptoms ect.)Nothing to be scared of but nice to know that the first time it might give you two or three days of not feeling so great..my Oncologist informed me very well about everything that is happening but it is still nice to hear this from a second specialist,..Thank you once again and greetings from Croatia ..😃👋

Thank you, Dr. Griggs, for your continuous support for breast cancer (health) patients.

Im getting zometa infusions once every six months with steroids and i have pretty bad pain for almost a week after. Ive learned to schedule time off work for it. It's worse than i expected it to be. I also had bad leg pain after each infusion of paclitaxol so maybe its just how i react. Even taking calcium and vitamin d and zometa, i saw a slight decrease on my dexa.

Thank you Dr. Griggs..it was so very informative..have been dx with higher risk of hip fx. My PCP is referring me to an Endocrinologist.. she feels i would benefit more by having the medication administered by injection or infusion, due to my gastrointestinal issues with taking certain medications..if so, would it also reduce some of the other side effects of taking medication to strengthen bones as well? Note..though i had quite a struggle with my breast surgery, chemo,.radiation, etc., Armidex did not reduce my bone density significantly as you shared!!

Thank you Dr Gregg for the very insightful video. What’s your opinion about vibration plate to improve bone health for this community?

Do you mean that Bisphosphonate prescribe only in case of bone problem? And this usually occure from AI drugs and not Tamoxifen?

Thank you Dr Griggs for this very informative video. Do calcium & glucosamine chondroitin supplements help with bone health for patients taking AI?

I have very mild Osteopenia and am on Anastrozole - my Medical Oncologist reviewed the DXA scan and said that I did not need a bisphosphonate at this time but would continue to monitor my bone density (I'm 70). I have read about some very horrific side effects of bisphosphonates (osteonecrosis of the jaw being a major one for me) and have made the decision to try to build up my bone density through weight bearing exercises, weight moderation and prunes 😊. I would very much like to see your input on the side effects of bisphophonates and alternatives.

Been watching all your videos since i was diagnosed with stage 2 idc 2 months ago. I would like to know if i will not be doing any treatment after the surgery how many years will i still leave?

Your last few videos have been very on-point in relation to my breast cancer journey (I hate that word, but it's apt). I would very much like a follow-up video on the side-effects of bisphosphonates, as they seem kind of concerning (lower calcium, GERD, kidney issues) and self-defeating (i.e. joint pain??).

Very insightful. Thank you!

Constant pain in both breasts in non cyclic period.i took painkillers but not gone...can you reply me pls

Er PR possitive her2 neu negative...locally advanced Brest cancer.. 4 cycle chemo...mrm surgery done...again start 4 cycle chemo( paclitaxel)...mam when I started harmonal therapy for better outcome

I was diagnosed with luminal A BC. The pathology report says the tumor is cribriform. What does that mean?

Thank you, Dr. Griggs, for your physical and mental advice.

I'll take it as a small but significant victory. Where truthful adjectives being used. Such as harsher, and abrupt. At last more honest admissions as to what present Chemo drugs do to a person's body. In hopes it makes researchers and drug manufacturers aware of what some of the problems are. Right now there's this overwhelming amount of Aromatase inhibitors medications. Each with identical actions and side effects. So many of us can't indure. I'm just in desperate hopes some one can find another way and a choice to be made. Thank-you! For allowing this platform. Much appreciated!

Hi Dr Griggs, I am grateful to be able to find your youtube channel as it helps me to feel reassured each time. I have a question that I would like to seek your help please. Can you please advise what else can I do to better manage the soreness and moderate pain to my nipple after radiation treatment, other than applying moisturising cream daily? Does apply scarring gel help? Its been a week since completion and sore+pain still persist. Sometimes I felt like crying as the pain would last 30mins or so after each shower even when I gently wash over it. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Could you expound or cite the article about vag Estrogen increasing mucous membranes and not going to systemic circulation...or studies on vag e2 in breast ca?

what about orange cake. with a sticky juice poured onto it.

Thank you very much for the video. I'm a newly diagbosed with TNBC. After some searching online, I came across some research on targeted treatments for TNBC based on its subtypes. Please can you make a video about these subtypes. Thank you!

Currently on Taxol weekly with Herceptin and Perjeta every 3rd week. Some finger nails are lifting up :( is there any hope for this?

I have been taking Anastrozole for one month and my joint pain is already uncomfortable. Thanks for your video. I am planning to reach out to my Dr. on Monday!

Well explained❤

Very interesting.. i was given a combination of Cyclophosphamide and Docetaxel....4 rounds(1 every 3 weeks)..33 radiation treatments with booster, and 5 years of AI..I was dx with Invasive lobular breast ca, Stage 3a pT3:pN2a:pM0..ER+PR borderline,Her2- how do oncologists determine what chemo drugs to use? and how many treatments to be given? I have not heard of many pts. only receiving 4 treatments..with new research being done regarding treatment, would the above combination still be a viable treat..thank you..

Excellent explanations, thank you so much. Stage 3 IDC here, undergoing treatments. May GOD bless and keep all of us as we trust Him and strive to lead a longer life ❤ Love all your videos, best channel on RUclips!

Thanks so much for this, I’m about to start AC for two months then moving to Taxol weekly for 12 weeks. This was very informative ❤

I was on paclitaxel for 12 consecutive weeks together with carboplatin every 3 weeks, after a dense dose AC. For me the taxane toxicity made it so that I basically lost the lipid barrier on my face and top of hands, so I wore gloves much of the time. I got a very rare side effect (5% of patients, my oncologist told me) where pus started building up under the nails of my fingers and toes. For a few weeks it was incredibly painful and i couldn't use my hands at all. Every touch was excruciating. After that, as predicted by my oncologist, the pain subsided, the nail lifted off of their beds (some fell off) and the pus started flowing. Boy, was it gross! But I soaked my hands twice a day in a mix of water and baking soda and it cleared up very quickly! I also got neuropathy in my toes and fingers, and oddly enough I lost feeling also on the tops of my thighs and buttocks, which affected my balance. 3 months later, only the buttocks and part of my left foot have regained feeling. I had my dose reduced because of these side effects.

I’m 5wks into a 12 wk weekly regime. Side effects for me include numbness and tingling of fingertips and tip of tongue and also sporadic but severe bouts of reflux. The numbness retreats and advances with the dose cycle. I had 4 doses of AC first losing my hair and now with the paclitaxil nearly all of my eyebrows are gone

I was on pac chemo with carbo for my second course of chemo ..first was EC for first 3 months. I should have had 9 weekly sessions of PAC but only managed 8 due to neuropathy in my hands.

Thank you, Dr. Griggs, for your pharmaceutical advice.

They started me out on Taxol in January. After 3 infusions, I developed facial edema with serous weeping, redness, almost cellulitis. I was switched to Doxurubicin after that, and now I'm on Abraxane.

Before starting chemotherapy: Please tell your doctor you‘re allergic to alcohol !! Than they are not allowed to give you this shitty and cheap solution with castor oil! In this case they have to give you the expensive nab-paclitaxel that is way better for you. I did this.

Me cycle 12 give my doctor now i got 9cycle thanks god but so strong drug Tingling my hands and feet the side effects for me😥💔💔💔thank you so much this vedio doc yerbba

Thank you for taking the time to post these vlogs. Very informative and appreciated.

I had taxol after 4 doses of AC every 2 weeks. Taxol was weekly. After dose 6 it was dropped to 75% for 2 doses because of peripheral neuropathy getting worse and then doses 9-12 were cancelled as I was dropping things. It’s been 14 months since I finished and my finger tips are still a bit numb and my toes are too. I also lost my fingerprints on the AC chemo which was a weird side effect apparently. They came back but touch screens don’t work as well for me anymore.

Thank u so much for sharing ♥️♥️♥️🥀🥀🥀🥀I will b having Targeted her2 I’m so scared and exhausted just finished everything chemotherapy Thn surgery thn Radiotherapy now waiting for the last chemotherapy her2🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😭😭😭😭

thank you ... i started AI s 2 weeks ago ( stage 2 hormone positive her2 negative) after 16 chemos and radio ...i took an overdose after 10 days ive suffered very serioius PND 30 years ago i know the mechanics of the AIs stripping the estrogen is similar i am very very worried ...

I'm going to radiation therapy (lumpectomy) and this video is so helpful and reassuring. Thank you! I am nervous as I was told my lungs and ribs will be slightly radiated as my chest is shaped like a half barrel. Scary, but I was also told that I will heal and even in my sixties can run a short marathon next year! I did inquire about "Mepitel" film but they are not using it, although I could apply this film if I wanted ... Dr. Griggs, what do you think of Mepitel Film for radiation?

I take Tamoxifen tablets and I have all these effects to. It was never told to me at the beginning of my treatment from my Oncologist or GP I’m absolutely shocked I had to do my own research. So, all our specialists are useless or don’t care about us and only interested on selling the medication 💊 to make money. 😡

Thank you

13 years post treatment (lumpectomy w/6 nodes removed, chemotherapy and radiation) I am getting edema in the perimeter of the radiation field. I will be seeing a lymphedema PT. Any thoughts on why, so many years later this is happening?

My eyes roll back and I get neck spassims.

Can you be more specific when you’re talking about vit K? There are 2 forms. MK 4 and MK 7. If we’re mostly on a plant based diet, wouldn’t we get enough MK 4 ? And MK7 is actually what we need in supplement form to take with D3?

Hi Dr, thanks for this video. I currently have stage 2 with a 4.5 CM tumor with 1 positive lymph node. I am 40 years old. My doctor says that because of my age they recommend Chemo regardless of my oncotype score. I was wondering your opinion on that? I’ve done a lot of research and I haven’t found anybody mentioning that being young (40 years old) is a definite benefit to chemo regardless of Oncotype until my doctor mentioned it. My cancer is Hormone positive and Her 2 negative. Would love to hear your thoughts on my age as a deciding factor for deciding on chemo? Thank you!

I have a lot of pvc's. How do they fit into my radiation treatment and bp?
