Finish my 4th cycle Friday. The same day I get my Faslodex and xgeva shots. Feeling ok. Got my first mouth sore. It's a bad one. Using the good mouth wash the Dr gave me. How are you?

Doing well. Finished round 34. It's my week off.

Demanos, may I ask where your cancer was when you started ibrance. From reading their official page I was not aware it worked that long. I don't mean that to scare you but I am curious.

Another question. Have you lost your hair from the ibrance?

No I haven’t but I have a lot of hair and the dr said I probably won’t even notice hair loss. What about you?

I've thinned a lot. I wear my hair curly now to hide the thinness.

My hair was thick but fine. I'm losing a lot. Hoping it doesn't all go.

I'm doing alright. I just wish my joints didn't feel like they were 100 years old!!

I am good, and good to hear that that is the report from most of us. 14 cycles and taking a break due to low WBC. My very best to us all! Michelle

I am doing good thank you for asking. I am in my third cycle of ibrance. I had to have back surgery in July, seem to be recovering well from that. I would like to go back to work. Oncologist doc suggested that I live life the way I would like to, including work. I always have liked working, guess it makes me feel fulfilled. I can't really afford to live on temp disability anyway, it would run out in a year. I had a job, two side jobs before having surgery. Both jobs at times require that I lift heavy things (up to 50 pds), can't do that anymore. It may be time for me to look for another job anyway, as neither job provides benefits. Overall friends, I am doing good.. we will continue to hang in there, support one another.
