Tamoxifen & Ibrance
Would like to know if anyone on here is on this combination for treatment for stage IV met BC. I was on exemastane for 3.5 years but stopped working and this may be my new treatment plan. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Is exercise advisable when B12 levels are still low?
This is my first post from Australia, after having been diagnosed with PA in January 2017. This comes 18 months after completing chemo and radiation treatment for breast cancer.
