One year diagnosed
I am newly diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast ca. I’m on Ibrance and faslodex and it’s been so difficult with working full time and feeling exhausted especially on my week off my cycle. I’ve had 2 infections over my first year but I’m still positive about my disease. I meditate, go to Reiki, accupuncture

Questions about assembling a care team
His heart rate is still way too high, but electrolytes are getting stabilized after wild and frequent swings so doctor started
Casodex
, with the thought that Lupron would follow, hopefully in the office by end of week.

Rising psa
Casodex
18 months now xtandi, eligard, and xgeva for over 18 months. His PSA went to <.01 almost immediately but now for the last 6 months has risen by .1 each month. It is now .7. The MO doesn’t seem to be concerned and said we would address it if it gets to 2.

Need more Info
In December with a continually rising PSA (now 174ng/mL) , I had a biopsy (Gleason 9) and started on
Casodex
(50mg). By mid January my PSA had dropped to 33 and I stopped
Casodex
and started on Lupron.

Afinitor/evermestane..verses Ibrance and faslodex
I have been on the first oral combination around six months. The side effects for me have been horrible. The doctor took me off. My pet scan came back with 5 new cancer spots and no change in the original tumors. She wants me to start Ibrance and faslodex. Has anyone out there started with the afinitor

Multivitamin recommendations and do Biotin supplements help with hair loss/thinning?
Hi. I am on Ibrance and Faslodex and would like to know what brand of multivitamins can you recommend. Also, I am experiencing more hair thinning on Ibrance. Can those who use Biotin supplements share their experience? Do they work to slow the hair loss? Maria

Faslodex
Anyone on Faslodex having burning aching knees and thighs plus redness around knees weakness in legs or whatever side effects I’d be interested in hearing. Wishing everyone success with your treatment.

Drug Resistence
He used
Casodex
on his first hormone blockade run in March 2014. He is Chemotherapy and Radiation naive. Our current oncologist Dr Tucker said they don't use the term Hormone Refractory anymore, and instead say if they have become resistant to a certain drug being used instead.

Thank you all for your support and sharing. It has made a difference for me💕 So my onc is practicing 35+years and he said mixed results do happen. One theory is the new ones are resistant to meds. I told him my theory-pet scans are not so accurate . His answer was he prefers ct and bone scans. I said

Stopping ibrance?
I have been on Ibrance and Faslodex for 18 months, NED for almost a year. Onc is leaving up to me as to keep on taking Ibrance or just the faslodex. Appears that he thinks Faslodex should be kept up, but he said there are no tests that show Ibrance has increased longevity, Has anyone else done this

continued pain
my bone mets started in my pelvis last November. have been on ibrance and faslodex since then. - having an aching discomfort in same area that doesn't seem to go away. Do you think that means the drugs are not working or does it take a long time for bones to heal? Starting to worry!

Breast implant associated small cell lymphoma!
I am wondering if anyone is confronted with this. I had a saline implant post mastectomy in 2012. I received a letter from my plastic surgeon stating that the FDA has put out new data stating that the texture of the implant, saline and silicone can lead to this new cancer which is not related to breast
