Ibrance after anti-hormone drugs?
Hello, I have bone mets. Am Est+ and have cycled through Arimidex, Tamoxifen, Faslodex shots, and am now on Xeloda for almost 2 years. My Oncologist wants to put me on Ibrance with Letrozole next, but a consulting Oncologist says NO! She says that Ibrance is strictly used as 1st or 2nd line drugs in

Feeling Low
Had my check up Wednesday with my oncologist - he has taken me off Letrozole and the Zoladex injection for a month as I have really been struggling with the side effects - he said that my quality of life was more important than the 2% it gave me for prevention of reoccurrence. Once my body has adjusted

Bad anxiety
Hi I was diagnosed in Dec 16.coped with surgery-small lump removed not spread to lymph nodes. Had radio and now on letrozole. No probs with anything but the letrozole has made me very anxious! People tell me I'm lucky as no mastectomy or chemo, and on the face of it I'm much better off than others. I

Not able to have chemo!!
Hi ladies had a mastectomy early Jan followed by total lymph node clearance, was due to start chemo and on actual day of chemo appointment at chemo clinic was told that scan had showed two very small spots on my left hip. As a result I won't be having chemo or radiotherapy but start Letrozole as a treatment

Letrozole
Need a bit of help regarding Letrozole......are there any ladies who have switched from Letrozole to another hormone therapy and found less side effects. Also, do the side effects get worse the longer you are on it?? I used to have good days and then bad but find the good days have gone. Many thanks

Letrozole not working ... back to chemo
Hi everyone, not very good news on the scans yesterday with tumours increasing from about 30-40 mm to 50-75mm in 2 months so the Letrozole doesn't seem to be helping. It was worth a try but very disappointed. Now it's back to carboplatin initially as a single agent for 3 cycles with the hope that this

Low grade serous carcinoma - what maintainence therapy
Hi I was diagnosed at 49 with stage 3c LGSOC. I've had debulking surgery ( full hysterectomy, and removing lining of liver and bladder, omentum, appendix, spleen and sigmoid colon). Currently ca 125 of 12 and no disease. I'm trying to decide whether to continue with avastin as maintainence therapy. Apparently
