Lowering Ibrance dose
Also at onc suggestion, I’m about to switch from
exemestane
to faslodex, hoping to reduce side effects. Anyone else? Thank you. Btw I am MBC with bone mets. First diagnosis was 2010, stage 3. Returned almost nine years later. Cancer sucks!

What it is, I am on my third kind of treatment; first letrozole/palbociclib, then everolimus/
exemestane
, now Faslodex since November 2018. The markers have gone up and down, recently gone up, the MRI shows progression. It isn't extreme progression but nevertheless progression.

Inhibitor stopped
I've been on
Exemestane
for 6 months, along with the other drugs. About a month ago my RA went nuts and I could barely walk. Stopped the
Exemestane
for 4 days per my team and joints got better.

I Need To Vent. Sorry
I explained about my RA was flaring up worse with each
Exemestane
and how I tried to use it with my Ibrance & without my Ibrance (I'm 7 days on, 7 days off) and my body simply can't handle it. She put me on a new anti-inflammatory starting immediately and told me to get back on the Inhibitor.

worried about markers / possible treatment change
He also mentioned Affinitor/
Exemestane
or farnestron?? If he had said to continue with the Ibrance/Faslodex I would not be as worried, but saying to hold on both scares me.

Aching so bad I can't sleep
I also have RA and wondering if it's the
Exemestane
. 25 mg. triggering this in combination with the Ibrance.

I have been taking
exemestane
and The chemo drug emerolimus. I'm having a pet scan tomorrow afternoon to see if it's working. My question is has anyone developed allergic Reactions to any of the drugs they have been given.

Abnormal liver function blood test results.
I was taking
Exemestane
for breast cancer but stopped taking it in December as I was having terrible joint pain. My doctor had prescribed Gabapentin and Zapain for the pain but I stopped taking both of those a few months ago. Can anyone offer any explanation? Thanks

Lower Left Abdomen Pain
I’ve had it before, with
Exemestane
and it went away each time I stopped the drug. Switched to Letrozol and was doing great. Added Ibrance (on my third week). It feels different than the previous pain (which, after dozens of tests, was never diagnosed- had to be the
Exemestane
).

Recent liver progression after stable bone mets. Researching treatments and reaching out. X
My oncologist has started me on Everolimus and
exemestane
as Ibrance and faslodex isn't available in the channel islands unless it's first line only. Can I ask what other lines of treatment others are taking and whether surgery was an option for you? I'm also considering S.I.R.T treatment.

Hello Sisters
I had been on
exemestane
and later in tamoxifen, but neither helped. Now I’m on my second cycle of Ibrance and faslodex and seem to be tolerating it, except for extreme bouts of fatigue. I won’t know if these meds are working until my onc orders a CT scan in a few months.

Not sure of anything
I'm now on
exemestane
for one month with scans scheduled after that. My mets are to my liver and peritoneal lining. The ibrance and letrozole significantly shrunk my breast tumor but the liver lesions grew from 2-7 and two were lager than before. Has anyone tried only
exemestane
alone?
