Just wanted to share my positive news with you all! MBC in chest wall and lymph nodes! Been on Ibrance and Letrozole since 23rd May 24 and ct scan shows the tumours have shrunk and no sign of any spreading! I am over the moon, really thought I’d had it this time! 3rd time with BC, I cried tears of joy xxx

good morning… oh what a feeling….i had a PET SCAN in March… I have been on Ibrance and Exemestane since 2022 …was first diagnosed in 2016 had a lumpectomy n radiation. All my mammograms were negative n we moved to North Carolina in 2021 n I had my yearly mammogram n then a biopsy n it came back. after the lung biopsy I was called and told I have MBC n it metastasized to my lungs. N in March 2024 pet scan showed no sign of tumors or metastasis… I said to my oncology dr so everything is stable n she said I am in remission….n I had her repeat it to me actually several times. It was April n no one called me to give me the good news but it was all good. N yes tears of joy. I am still dealing with the frequent bathroom runs n haven’t been to. Nice restaurant in 2 years but it is all good . I feel blessed. N I am happy to read all your stories of good news.
Hi Teddy. So sorry that you need to join us here on the board but I think you will find it very informative and encouraging. I know when you are first diagnosed it feels like you hit a brick wall and life is over.
Congratulations on your wonderful initial response to Ibrance and Letrozol. I was on that first line for 5 years and it gave me much hope. I didn't have really any side effects so it was an easy treatment for me. I started on my 2nd line of treatment after progression in May 2023 and my latest q3 monthly scans (CT and Bone scan)a week ago showed they were both stable....15 months and counting.
Your areas of mets often respond well to treatment as you are already seeing. I hope you get many years with the same results. Take care.
I’m so happy for you!! I have been on Ibrance and Letrozole since diagnosis in April 2017, double mastectomy January 5 of this year and then 6 weeks of radiation. Had my PET scan on Thursday and the results came back negative for any cancer. The overwhelming feeling of relief is huge, I so understand how you feel!!! Celebrate!!
