TNBC here. Neoadjuvent chemo with Keytruda, one infusion left before surgery. Now I have secondary adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism. Side effects are not fun but new depressed moods are awful. I'm seeking a endocrinologist at Mayo as I don't think there are enough studies on how to safely proceed with cancer treatment until my cortisol levels are properly treated. Unfortunately this is a life long autoimmune disease.

I had a visit with my neurologist last week and was recently diagnosed with CIDP. It's a type of neuropathy treatment (IVIG-antibodies) and she is also going to be doing or the plan to do an arm Nerve study. My neuropathy is pretty bad at this point it is affecting my mobility as well as my mental state and with all of that going on can be be the side effects of the chemo and the radiation treatment and as well as having the two tumors which is one located on my pituitary gland and the frontal lobe of my brain. Brai surgery is and has been an option or the only option at this point. So I'm having to be patient with myself and do a lot of reading and studying the side effects as well as positive treatments so that I can recover all of this side effects that I've seen all over the place would keep me from doing any type of treatment and not getting better I have to look at all of the options I have to look at what's best for me. Neither one of the tumors is cancerous and I thank God for that but I still have to not only encourage myself but encourage others here to keep pushing your way through and refuse refuse refuse to allow cancer have the control.
