Importance of PET scans
I believe
Ibrance
stopped working last autumn so we are now looking at new treatments to take control of it again. Please everyone get your PET scans done and push until they agree to do it.

Change in dose
After how long on
Ibrance
125mg did your oncologist reduce the dose and why? I’m on 125mg with Letrozole for 8 months now. I’m feeling more nausea, dizziness, headaches and zero appetite. He’s sending me for a brain scan this Friday along with regular CT scan.

Body aches ......is it Ibrance?
I have been on
ibrance
for almost 3 years now. A pattern that I have noticed is body aches as I get closer to my day 21 on that cycle. They aches range anywhere from 1-7 days and the degree of discomfort tends to vary. Has anyone else noticed this? What has your oncologist said?

Giving Back
It had been six months since my last scans due to Covid delays and I have been on 75mg
Ibrance
(due to low neutrophils) during that time, so I was worried. Thankfully they came back stable. I am relieved and happy with that and so today is a good day! I didn’t know what to expect 20 months ago.

Stage 4 metastasis
I am on
Ibrance
and the injection Fulvestrant. I was wondering if anyone else was diagnosed with this. I’m very scared and depressed, the doctor said it’s not curable. I will be on thus the rest of my life. Whatever that is.

Switching to verzenio - progression to liver
I’ve been on
Ibrance
since 2016 with bone metA only. Now being switched to verzenio along with faslodex due to liver mets. Was just wondering how anyone handled this treatment and how long did it work. Very nervous over the side effects and just having liver mets.

Stomach issues
Not sure if gastritis is a side effect of
Ibrance
. The last 3 days of this cycle I’m having awful pain in my mid stomach like spasm and cramping and feels like burning. This is the first time for this so not sure if this is due to the pill. Anyone have anything similar to this?

Correlation?
Someone posted that their mother stopped losing hair while on
Ibrance
when it stopped being effective. I’ve noticed that I seem to be filling in with hair where it had thinned. Is it power of suggestion, hair is really long because I haven’t been to a salon since February or real?

Ct scan -chemo
Both he and his nurse seem to be more distant, maybe I’m just noticing more since I stopped
Ibrance
and Letrozole! I saw a different oncologist last month as mine was on vacation, now I’m wondering if I said something to that guy that my oncologist didn’t like.

Glad to be part of an understanding group
Faslodex added to Arimidex and now
Ibrance
is replacing Arimidex. Sometimes I feel that instead of the side effects I'd rather live my life free of chemo. But pushing on. Thanks for your support

Chemo delayed due to low Neutrophils
I was hoping it was just the
Ibrance
that was causing the issues but I guess my bone marrow doesn’t work very fast. I did feel like a had a virus half way through so I guess that caused the problem.

Nausea side effect?
I take 100g
ibrance
and letrozole. I am allowed 10 days inbetween cycles because my neutrophils stagger to get up to 1.00 in 7 days. Does anyone else have this problem? Perhaps I need to ask for a drop to 75g? Fay

Ibrance questions
Is there an alternative to
ibrance
? What is the longest amount of time someone's been on
ibrance
? Does it compromise quality of life? Does anyone know of any clinical trials for stage IV metastatic breast cancer, with estrogen positive bone only mets?

Mets to liver
I’m on
Ibrance
/ Letrozole combo but it seems to have stopped working. Last CT scan showed 2 tumours grew 30%. I have a PET scan coming up on the 21st. I think my treatment will be changed. To what, I have no idea. I’m petrified. I feel I was handed a death sentence at 51 years old.

So relieved as I have been on
Ibrance
/letrozol since May of 2018 ...hoping it was still working. Is anyone familiar with “Toxic Granulation Present”, Elliptocytes, and Tear Drop Value 1+. in bloodwork results. Is this anemia? Onc didn’t seem concerned...caused by meds.
