Trial drug.

Hi Ro123
if you join the Living With Metastatic Breast Cancer private group you may get sone answers there.
Palbociclib has been around for a while but looks like this drug OP 1250 is very new.
Sorry you had to join this club but you’ll find a wealth of information in this website including some excellent  podcasts .
It might be worth giving the helpline a call to help you navigate through it .

Sorry to see you join our exclusive group, @Ro123 ... I am sure someone will jump on if they've used the drug, but it is fairly new 'to the system' and a search of the BCNA site hasn't had it mentioned before (unless in the private Mets Group.)

Feel free to tell us a bit more of your story so far .... if you add your 'general location' to your profile, we may even have members nearby who you may be able to meet up with, for a coffee & a chat, now that Covid restrictions have lifted - but still need to be 'careful'.

Jump onto this thread for a bit of info about the site & different threads you may like to check out - even a 'funnies' one, for a laugh!  And we all need a laugh! xx

take care and all the best with your ongoing treatment xx

Thank you. I am 46 and live in the Geelong region.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on the 25/11/2022. One day later I found myself at ED with excruciating back pain. This was a tumor on my spine, of which I have since undertaker radiation treatment. I have also had a rod a pin put in my femur as the bone had a 50% chance of breaking.
I also had follow-up radiation on my leg also. This has all happened in 3 months.

Its been a very hard time emotionally and I have also had Zolodex injections to put me into early menopause.

I start my trial tomorrow and it is a new drug called OP1250. I will also be put on Palbociclib. 

Kind regards.

All the best with your trial starting tomorrow, @Ro123 xx. You've had a HUGE shock to the system - it is great that things are moving quickly for you xx ....
