Faslodex/fulvestrant and tumor markers
hi everyone, my mother has breast cancer that has spread to her bones and liver. She is on enhertu and just recently the doctor has prescribed faslodex injection for her. She is on her third cycle of the injection and she did tumor markers test and it showed very high numbers. She has also finished 5 sessions of radiation. I'm very stressed about the tumor markers number as it was lower before the injection. Did anyone try this injection?

My deepest condolences. I have been in your shoes. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She was originally given 1-5yrs but made it 13. She was also diagnosed with lung cancer shortly after the breast cancer. Every cancer and person is different.
My mom had 5 different chemos but the shot she received "and lord i wish I could remember what it was called" was her saver. It kept both cancers at bay for many years.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Cancer isnt always a death sentence. Remember that.
Learn to live life to the fullest, enjoy the simple things, especially the ones that bring a smile to her face and to yours.
I will look at my mom's old records and see what she had and the results.
Stay strong you got this!
Sorry I just had to chime in. I wish I had the answers you are looking for.
Hugs
I will look into more and see what I can find
