Going on strong...
I have had hard times throughout my life. Many times I've dealt with stuff that I thought were the bottom of the hell. Some other times I would think that it can't get any worse. During any of those periods I couldn't think that it could get any worse. How could I imagine that the worse was to come.

Has anyone been able to lose the weight that they gained during chemo? If so how did you do it?
I've started a new line of
Femara
+Ibrance+avastin in January. Even though I insisted on stopping steroids during this new line of treatment I'm gaining weight like crazy. Excruciating pains inhibit my mobility but I'm doing my best to at least move a bit even if I can't exercise.

Hormone replacement drug Letrozole
Now about to start Letrozole (
Femara
) and upon reading the blurb with all the side effects that come with taking this drug, I wondered how other ladies have fared?

Ibrance, Femara , Avastin
I wonder if anyone is on this combo. What are the side effects of Ibrance? What do you do about the low WBCs? Any idea how I can detect lung blood clots, especially that I have lung mets? I am scared that the side effects are going to kill me rather than the disease itself. Pleas help me out.

A newbie looking for breastfriends' support...
Being post menopausal seemed to leave me with two options - Letrozole (
Femara
) or Arimidex (Anastrozole). After doing my research and even reading posts by women on both drugs - the side effects that fellow women with BC have had sound horrible.

Phase 3 PALOMA-2 trial
The PALOMA-2 study showed the combination of IBRANCE and letrozole (
Femara
) extended progression-free survival (PFS), or the amount of time before tumor growth, by more than 10 months compared with letrozole plus placebo.

Egg quality advice
Hi ladies so after my first bfn this week I am now considering some changes for our 2nd cycle. I am 38 with an amh of 4.8. We got 6 eggs which I was told at the time was good for my age and amh. I am now looking into perhaps egg quality was my issue. I bought the book it's starts with the egg this week

Endo on lung
I started on Letrozole back in I think it was July last year (also I think called
Femara
) which is used by breast cancer patients to stop any estrogen.

Letrozole (Femara)
Hi Everybody. My wife has been taking Letrozole now for a while, and whilst it seems to be doing some good on the face of it, the side effects are quite severe. Unbelievable tiredness (she was never this tired even whilst having Chemo), joint aches and general lethargy. It is a marked change in her.
