[douglas9401]

An important message buried under upper class 'humour'.

Maybe the 'important message' part has been missed in the righteous charge.

She wasn't a particularly bright or nice person before she go ill.

[LadyCG]

There can only be one thing worse than having cancer and that's your child having cancer ... and I know you've been there, Bobbi x x

[Peter Pedant]

oh god
Paterson ( breast surgeon who left bits in)
I wdnt allow anyone to go near reconstruction in a field where a tumour ( cancer) had been excised. - further surgery just spreads the bits that are left in
personal view mind

[Peter Pedant]

yeah and some one hand her a newspaper and say
Keep a breast with the Times

( from the 1970s)

[Bobbisox1]

Yes Lcg, the worst period of my life, thankfully she has been given the all clear nine years later although she’ll still be on her medication for another year .

[DTCwordfan]

can't stand the woman, the ex-Duchess of Pork - but, Jeez, give her space on this one! If any of her critics here have had cancer and coming out wuth this Bs I would be very surprised indeed - for the others, it's downright tawdry and viscious to make such criticism - and not becoming of an ABer, who usually are generous and supportive in such illnesses.

[LadyCG]

Oh is she having extended adjuvant endocrine therapy, Bobbi?

I know when I was in Oncology there was emerging research regarding extended adjuvant therapy with Tamoxifen, Anastrozole and Letrozole for 10 years for, say, high-risk disease with nodal involvement and microvascular invasion.

I went through a breast cancer scare in 2015/16 just after I met OH and it was a horrible ordeal.

[Peter Pedant]

tmt is age stratified
tomoxifen with or without lumpectomy works well in the elderly.

[andy-hughes]

I am not a fan of the Duchess, but the OP is harsh and unjustified.

[LadyCG]

Tamoxifen is usually for pre-menopausal women and the aromatase inhibitors (Anastrozole and Letrozole) are usually for the post-menopausal ladies, PP. They do tend to switch them round in the case of inefficacy or intolerance. Any endocrine therapy is probably deemed better than no endocrine therapy.

//She wasn't a particularly bright or nice person before she go ill.//

That is no justification for your abhorrent post. Humour is a far better therapy after recovering from cancer. She is not wallowing in self pity and is open ,and in a way, a little reassuring to those who may be suffering similar anguish

[johnny.5]

I can only applaud Her .
She has managed to get people talking about a very personal experience . One which is sometimes very obvious to large breasted women who decide not to have a false boob and it takes them a while to get over the self-confidence barrier and looking/feeling lopsided and the T.V advert with a replacement tattoo is not for all

[Bobbisox1]

Yes Lcg, she’s on Tamoxifen till February 2026 , that’ll be 10yrs

[Bobbisox1]

I meant to add she’s had all lymph nodes removed Lcg

[FoxLee2]

DTC - so it's 'downright tawdry and vicious' for others to make criticisms of Sarah and yet you felt it was okay to refer to her by a title from long ago during a period when she was overweight. She has been slim for years and years so why drag that title up - you're just a mean spirited person.

[Peter Pedant]

o god I hope they havent removed a post about modern treatment
you never know with marauding mods who know best - eek

yes.
I live in a pre-aromatase age. I worked in a radiotherapy dept and estrogen receptors were appearing in research papers
( er obviously if I had it, I wd go to a doctor)

[andy-hughes]

Peter - Please stop your provoking nonsense.

Thanks.
