This is the fourth in a series about FDA-approved treatments for each sub-type of MBC. Later this week I'll post about approved treatments for TNBC. The treatment options listed below have been reviewed with a Medical Oncologist at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in NY. Detailed information about them

Tamoxifen
Well, after such great news from my PET Scan, my Oncologist decided to put me on Tamoxifen along with my Ibrance 100mg. I explained that I had not been taking the inhibitor (I told his Assistant last month) and that it caused my RA to flare up. BUT, the side effect warning says it can cause liver cancer

Fever with VISION Study
Had my third VISION study infusion on Aug, 7. Normal recovery, nothing unusual. This Monday, Aug. 26, I felt wiped out and went to bed at 3:30 pm. By 5:30 pm I had gone from normal temperature to 104 F (40 C). Immediately to Urgent Care, who suspected neutropenic fever, which, apparently is a less-common

New PET SCAN
My wife underwent post chemo PET CT and report is good. Still local and main lump almost gone. Mastectomy in 2 weeks. As she is Her2 + she shall be on Herceptin or on biosimilars for rest of the year. My question this time is whether insurance pays for Herceptin infusion post mastectomy in India ?

Delaying starting tamoxifen
Hi all, I was diagnosed in April with IDC (ER+|PR+ HER2-)and had 2 unsuccessful lumpectomies followed by a unilateral mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction on July 1st last. My oncotype score was 13 and as the mastectomy had clear margins I thankfully don’t need either chemo or radiotherapy

Approved Treatment Options for HR+, HER2- Postmenopausal Women
All too often, patients who are diagnosed with MBC or whose cancer progresses are unaware of the treatment options available to them. Below is the list of FDA-approved treatments for HR+, HER2- postmenopausal women in the US. I finalized this list of treatments with a Medical Oncologist at Columbia

Lowering Ibrance dose
Anyone else have their Ibrance dose lowered, and found it helps with side effects? I have asked my onc to consider lowering my 125mg Ibrance to 100. I’ve read the 100mg dose is just as effective. Anyone else lower their dose? Did it help side effects? Also at onc suggestion, I’m about to switch from
