Ibrance or no Ibrance
I find it bizarre that the onco is leaving it up to you as to whether or not to continue with
Ibrance
The medication is either working or it isn’t and if it isn’t given the side effects that accompany you’re better off stopping ....what do the pet scan show ?

Neutrophils Low
My neutrophils dropped to 0.6 this month even though I am now on the lowest dose of
Ibrance
. I just can’t seem to be able to take my
Ibrance
as intended. I take for three weeks but each cycle I have to wait three weeks for my neutrophils to get above 1.0 so I can start the next cycle.

Results of Pet/CT scan after 3 cycles of Kisqali
When friends ask about the medicine I'm taking, I just say it is like
Ibrance
since very few have heard of Kisqali. My oncologist decided on Kisqali because it has fewer side effects for blood clots and i had one when I was in the rehab hospital after breaking my second hip.

Itchy Eyes with Discharge on Ibrance/Faslodex
I’ve been on
Ibrance
/Faslodex for 11 cycles now and have recently been experiencing itchy, watery eyes with some discharge. Has anyone experienced this as a side effect while on
Ibrance
/Faslodex? Or is this an allergic reaction? If so, what medication did you take to alleviate it?

Smoking
My confession is that when I began
ibrance
/Letroziole 20 month ago I thought (I know know that’s not true) well I’m only gonna live 22 month if even that & for the first time in 40 years none of my doctors lectured on smoking.

Letrozole
I am prescribed
ibrance
125 as well since Sept 2018. However I'm tired of the side effects! My Dr doesn't want to lower dosage of
ibrance
since my tumor continues to shrink.

Remedy for Extremely Dry Face?
I am assuming this is from the Faslodex (& in combination with
IBrance
). I am on my 2nd round of Faslodex shots in 2 weeks. I have another round in two weeks then it goes to monthly, Does anyone else have this. If so, what do you recommend?

Blood test

He said you have to stay on your
Ibrance
for rest of your life. I could not believe it. He said you are a stage 4.. I want to know what you guys think of this.

Feeling blue
I was currently on
Ibrance
/Letrozole ,Zoledex and Zometa was taken off of it because my CBC was too low. I'm currently receiving WBC shots to raise my white blood count. I am so tired of not having energy and I'm seriously considering forgoing the treatment all together.

Had mastectomy and now on
Ibrance
and Arimedex. I asked how long I'd be on this and was told probably the rest of my life. Yuk. Hate meds. Tolerating it pretty well. Haven't heard anyone with skin mets. Can anyone add anything?

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!
