Breast Cancer, Metastatic
"I have had Stage IV Breast Cancer for 5 and one half years.  Spread to my lung.  I have been on several chemo treatments as well as hormonal treatments.  Next week I start Cycle 17  of the Eribulin  which means I have had 32 injections.  My doctor reduced the dosage earlier on as I was getting neuropathy in both hands and feet.  Overall, I find the treatment tolerable with some days of the cycle worse than others.  I am considered stable right now and there is no end in sight for getting off this drug.  I definitely have neuropathy, my hair has thinned tremendously and have bone and back pain consistently.  Did not control the pleural effusion and have had two thoracentesis.  
I have shortness of breath and lots of coughing."
