I will be starting this as well as Letrozole stopped working. My markers have been going up but cannot detect it on any scans. I also will be starting Ibrance which I hope my insurance will help cover. I do follow Jane McLelland’s book How to Starve Cancer so I take a lot of additional supplements as well as have consults with a neuropathic oncologist who prescribes meds that my oncologist won’t prescribe.

please have your oncologist contact Pfizer as they offer free Ibrance for those who qualify.

Hi. I am on fulvestrant and I have been having fevers. I was actually hospitalized because my liver bloodwork is way off but I also was having fever which is unrelated. They thought I might be getting sepsis but it wasn’t that. I’m wondering if I’m having a reaction. Thanks for sharing.
