Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 55-year-old woman in advanced breast cancer stages. Completed chemotherapy, now prescribed Trodelvy. Despite this, I am still struggling and seeking additional support. Could you advise on further steps or any ways to better manage my condition? Please help.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Khushbu

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

I am sorry to hear about your advanced breast cancer diagnosis. I understand the challenges you are facing, having completed chemotherapy and now starting Trodelvy. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and take prescribed medication. I suggest the following to manage your condition:

  1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Eat balanced meals, exercise regularly, and ensure adequate sleep to boost your immune system and improve overall well-being.

  2. Manage stress: Adopt stress management techniques like yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature.

  3. Join a support group: Connecting with others facing breast cancer provides emotional support and empowerment.

  4. Talk to a therapist: Seeking therapy can help cope with emotional challenges like anxiety and depression.

  5. Consider complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): Discuss with your doctor if therapies like acupuncture or massage might alleviate symptoms.

Remember, you are not alone. Numerous resources are available to support you in managing breast cancer and improving your quality of life.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
