HORMONE INHIBITORS AND BONE LOSS
I am a low grader and am currently on
Aromasin
. Previously I have been on Letrozole. They are both hormone inhibitors. I have bone loss. Has anybody else experienced this, either osteopenia or osteoporosis and what treatment were you offered and at what stage of bone loss.

My journey
I forgot to mention the fist diagnosis I was 6 years on
Aromasin
, and started it again after I was done with my second round of radiation with my 2014 diagnosis. 6 months into my new journey and the complaints are few except extreme fatigue. Hey I am 65 now.

Affinitor and Exenamestine (Aromasin)
After taking Ibrance and Faslodex for 10 months, they stopped working. I am being started on Affinitor and Exenamestine. I am wondering how these meds are tolerated and what side effects are related to the meds. Any problem with mouth sores and if so how were they treated.

Migraines with Faslodex?
Hi All, I have been taking a combination therapy of Ibrance (100mg),
Aromasin
since 4/16 and had Faslodex shots added in April of 2018 because of some new spots found. Stage 4 with Bone Mets only so far.

NED
I have Mac and have been in ibrance and
aromasin
since June 2016 I keep seeing people writing that their scans are good and that they are NED. My onc has never used that term on me . I know it means no evidence of disease but what drives the onc to use that term.

Anyone on Ibrance 75mg for long term ?
Also on
aromasin
. Unfortunately this past month my counts dropped very low again. Had to stop an extra week. now we'll see if I can go back o the 100 mg. Wondering if anyone is on 75 and for how long it has worked at that level.

Side effects of aromasin
I have been taking
aromasin
for almost a year now...my hair had grown back pretty good ..although gray. Now it seems I am losing it and is very noticeable ..maybe because I had colored it brown and you notice the scalp more. Also, still have neuropathy in hands and can tire easily.

Xeloda side effects
Hi fellow metsters, My tumor markers are up, so doc is taking me afinitor and
aromasin
. I start Xeloda in one week. I know the side effects can be bad, like hand and foot syndrome. Any advice or suggestions? Thank you, Sue

Chemo as a "reset"
I am currently on Afinitor/
Aromasin
. At my monthly visit on Friday, I was shocked when my onc suggested that it would be a good time to repeat chemo. She said she likes to periodically repeat the chemo to "reset things".

Anyone taking Aromasin/Exemestane with Inrance
My Oncologist replaces that drug with
Aromasin
aka Exemestane as the hormone blocker. I am terrified that it is not working as well as the Letrozole was.

New treatment
My doctor is going to change my treatment to the following;
Aromasin
, Ribociclib which he says are similar to what I have been taking but they are going to add Affinitor which he says is more of a targeted therapy.

Reliability of PET Scan/cancer antigen tests?
My Dr said this proves the Ibrance was not working and suggested changing me to Afinitor/
Aromasin
. Which is the more reliable diagnostic tool? PET scan or blood tests? Should we give the Ibance more time before making a change?

Changed from Ibrance to Afinitor
Now I am on Afinitor and
Aromasin
. I was doing so good on Ibrance, I really hated to start a whole new drug path after only 3 months. Has anyone had a similar situation?

End of aromasin
My 5 years of tablets finished in July and I have only just realised my afternoon fatigue has disappeared. I'm sure it must be connected as nothing else has changed. Has this happened to anyone else

Afinitor and taste buds off!
I was first put on 5 mgs of Afinitor with
Aromasin
in August. No big problems, Then I was upped to 10 mgs of Afinitor for Sept. and now Oct. Very slowly I noticed that some of my food tasted differently, Kind of tainted if I didn’t know better.
