Katsiaryna Pytleva: Cancer Has Returned

Journalist Katsiaryna Pytleva announced on Facebook that the cancer she had been cured of has returned. Doctors discovered metastases in her spine and another bone. She wrote about this after a month and a half of waiting for examination results, which she describes as true hell.

Pytleva stated that she had been in remission for three years prior to this. She underwent control examinations once a year or slightly more often and received hormonal therapy. Given her hereditary predisposition to breast cancer and recent digestive problems, she requested a blood test for tumor markers during a preventive check-up. This test had not been done for her before.

The CA 15-3 tumor marker was elevated, so Katsiaryna was referred for a computed tomography scan. It revealed a suspicious formation in a vertebra. After this, she had to wait a long time for a positron emission tomography scan — a rare and expensive examination using radioactive preparations. Its results confirmed the presence of several metastases in her spine and one of her bones.

For now, the woman refrains from making predictions. Her mother lived for eight years with spinal metastases. Pytleva hopes that modern treatment methods will allow her to live longer, although she also considers a worse scenario.

She wrote her message to come to terms with what is happening herself. She is now waiting for a call from her doctor, who is to explain the next steps.

For now, Katsiaryna feels as usual, with no serious symptoms, and she doesn't need help. However, she admits, she now needs to learn to breathe again.

In the summer of 2022, Katsiaryna Pytleva was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. She underwent surgery to remove her breast, followed by chemotherapy. The journalist openly spoke about her treatment and how the illness changed her life.
