More info on Ibrance than I have ever seen!
Maybe I messed up but at any rate, I am posting again because this has the most exhaustive info I have seen on
ibrance
. I wanted to know specifically about the shelf life, etc. and that's how I came upon this.

Thinking of lowering ibrance to 100mg since 125 mg fatigue is problem
My onc says she’s made this switch when a patient’s WBC counts are too low. Mine are ok. But the fatigue is concerning after 8 cycles. I’m going to finish this cycle at 125 mg, but unless i see some stability I’m inclined to move to100 mg. My onc is willing to give it a try. The afternoon naps aren’

Modification to schedule
Someone posted a while ago (I forgot the name) about having success with increased neutrophils and whites on a schedule of 5 days on
Ibrance
- 2 days off, for three weeks, followed by the fourth week 6 days on 1 day off.

Modified schedule
I have a feeling this was discussed with her peers and consensus is to stick to what they know about
Ibrance
. Your input and thoughts are important.

Gemzar
So in the 2 cycles of taking
Ibrance
/Letrozole it did more harm than good so she wants to start me on Gemzar , she agreed with me that Doxil is too harsh. My other Oncologist wanted to start me on Doxil. Have anyone ever heard of Gemzar or have taken it?

Significant Improvement in Metastatic Disease !
I get to continue on the
Ibrance
and Letrozole prescription and treat this like just a chronic disease. ( for now) On a more somber note, my mom passed away two weeks ago. She was the original fighter in the family. She had breast cancer twice, bladder cancer and was on dialysis for seven years.

Ibrance and letrazole
my oncologist spoke of taking me off
Ibrance
if I show progression but what if it’s the letrazole which needs to be changed..I really don’t want to come off
Ibrance
I don’t get the reasoning behind this as I thought
Ibrance
combined with another AI was the next step Barb xx

Hair weirdness on Ibrance/letrozole
I've been on
Ibrance
/letrozole for 14 months. My hair has thinned considerably, but it's also changed significantly in texture. I've always had very curly hair and now it's almost straight. Anyone else experienced changes in hair other than loss?

Alternative Dosing Schedule for Ibrance
I happened upon this clinical trial they are doing for the 5/2 dosing and it mentioned some things I've never heard before about WHY this may be more effective in stopping neutropenia, hope I spelled that right! Anyway, I will most likely start it soon so I'm reading EVERYTHING which is my curse LOL

To all you MET ladies on Ibrance
Hoping the
Ibrance
/ Falsodex still working. I believe my next scan will be 4 to 6 months later so maybe I will c more reduction due to the longer span of my next scan. Hoping & praying. Just looking for encouraging words that may explain the scan activity. Liver Mets dx: March 2018

Other little symptoms
Ibrance
and Letrozole and Denocimab? 1. I have really dry skin on the ends of my fingers and toes. Almost like calluses, but I’m not doing anything heavy with them like walking a lot or using my hands like I used to. 2. Pain in the oesophagus when swallowing now and again.

Medication cost bites! - Not fair
So often I see posts or comments about the cost of
Ibrance
and how many do not know how they will be able to afford it. Here is an interesting article I read about this issue, with many drugs no just cancer medications. Thought i would share. Especially read the last 5 paragraphs.

Hot Flashes Update
Hi Ladies, About a month ago I wrote for advise to deal with Hot Flashes while taking Letrozole and
Ibrance
and I wanted to give you an update. I saw my onc and she recommended that I begin taking Gabapentin which is an anti-seizure medication that is know to work with hot flashes.
