Feet Swelling?

I am on 100mg Ibrance and faslodex, now in my 4th month. Does anyone else notice swelling of their ankles and/or feet? My onc checked me for clots, mentioning that would be of concern. Just curious if it's a side effect or something else entirely. Thanks.

They always ask me each visit about swelling or tingling in hands or feet so I would say it is a known side effect.

Hi,

When I was on Ibrance and Femara, it was a side effect for me. Now I am only on Falsodex and I no longer have swelling.

My ankles swell a good bit....but they always have. Maybe a little more since Ibrance/Aromasin.

Hi 🌺 My treatment now is Ibrance 125 - Letrozole - Xgeva - Zoladex. N-16 cycle. I have observed that my hands swell a lot in even cycles. Especially when I wake up. Have a great day

My onc checks for swelling every visit. It seems to be a side effect of Ibrance.

I love your combination, it worked for me for 8 months with little side effects. For whatever reason I craved salt & anything with salt like chips, pickles, etc. my ankles swelled frequently until I lowered salt intake. Happy Valentines Day💞

I have swelling in my left leg more than my right leg and has been for about a year & a half . I have asked oncologist & dr and no one seems to know what is causing it. I have been told to wear support stockings (oh yeah ! ) . So I am not sure if it is a side effect of ibrance or not , but I would love to know .

Thanks for all the responses! This is a great site to get feedback that we often don't get from our doctors. And I must say there is a ton of optimism here that I don't find in my oncology clinic. Thanks again.
