ankle swelling

[melody03]

Hello. I have been diagnosed with mbc with mets to my right hip and spine. Just finished 3rd cycle of Ibrance and letrozole. Has anyone had problems with ankle swelling, stomach bloating. and feeling short of breath at times?

Hello

I’m on letrazole and Ibrance..just finished my second ibrance cycle and yes bloating is horrible ..I feel that my body shape is changing..I’ve changed into a pear shape

No problem with swollen ankles though..my worst symptom is painful joints..not sure if that’s from bone mets or the medication

All the best

I'm starting my 5 round of Ibrance and Letrozole and at the beginning of the 4th round I started having edema in my feet in the morning when I wake up. I already had edema in the ankles. That's the only symptom I'm having.

I believe my diet is helping - fresh fruits and veg., salmon, occasional grain feed meat,organic milk and whole grains. I cook everything in a cast iron frying pan with light olive oil and I bake my sweet potatoes. I'm going to start trying to bake with coconut flour and organic flour making my own cookies, pies and cakes.

I wasn't using letrozole, but was on Ibrance for about 5 months. Can you do any walking early in the morning to help with circulation? It's really been helping me, as my legs swell, even without these medications ... and, because it's summer, I put my feet up at least once during the day for 10-20 minutes...I have a wedge cushion that helps immensely. Walking in the evening when it cools down may also help. Hope this helps...what does the doctor say?
