Now What?

My 75 mg Ibrance and 10 mg Tamoxifen took about 2 weeks to hit hard. I was doing great the first week, thrilled that I seemed to be handling the lower dosage. Then Bam! The joint aches and exhaustion hit and I finally stopped all meds to regroup. I'll try it again and pray it works, see what my next Scan shows in December and go from there. My Oncologist warned that stopping the meds will mean the cancer will reappear (I'm down 90%) and wants to hit me with radiation if I can't continue the meds, then do scans every 6 months. So, I'll give it one more month, adding a Super 6 mushroom tincture along with my Frankincense and Myrrh oils, CBD oil, Collodial Silver and vitamins. I simply refuse to have to stay in bed all day because of meds side effects!

I’m so sorry you are experiencing fatigue even at the lowest dose of Ibrance. Maybe the radiation will eliminate the remaining 10% of the cancer. Radiation causes fatigue too though😢. You are on Fenbendazole right? Let’s hope it works to make you 100% cancer free.

Take colostrum!!!! My wbc are low but I dont feel so sick like before and they change zometa and now they use xgeva. No side effect so horrible like zometa. And I read xgeva is better than zometa.

I am starting Ibrance 75 mg again on Monday. I have surgery and my doctor stop the medication for a month

Please be sure your supplements don't interfere with your other drugs. Let your oncologist help you find the best treatment for you that gives quality of life and fights the cancer. Blessings Hannah
