PET vs CT scan when monitoring IBRANCE/Femara therapy
Which is better and why isn’t this a “protocol”. My onc has tried to push my CT scans to 6 mos apart & has no good answer when I ask about a PET vs CT scan for routine monitoring? The radiation is risky is what she told me when asking me to wait 6 mos vs the protocol=3 mos? Any feedback is welcome!

Newly Diagnosed but Recurrent
I am currently taking
Ibrance
and Faslodex and waiting to start radiation (for two weeks) to treat the large mass under my left arm. So far no bone or organ involvement although there is a nodule in my right lung.

Faslodex discomfort
I hate to mess with my treatment so early since I have just started the 3rd cycle of
Ibrance
/Faslodex but this is pretty bad. And to boot my CA27.29 has increased since the original one taken 3 months ago.

Ibrance at night
Are many people taking I Brance at night instead of in the morning. I find that half an hour after I take it I get very sleepy so I decided on my next cycle to start at night. Any thoughts

Devastated: halaven fourth line of treatment
I’m devastated because
Ibrance
failed and now I’m doing the 4th line of treatment in 2nand a half years. I’ve just started Halaven and I’m exhausted of the mental and physical strain.

Hip Replacement Surgery
Really nervous being off the
Ibrance
for so long. I was off two weeks while my blood came up, two weeks before and now it will be two after. 6 weeks sounds like a long time to not take my
Ibrance
. Will this mean my cancer may progress? Worried sick. 😞

Good scans spreading good news
To recap, I'm on
Ibrance
, Letrozole and a monthly shot of lupron for liver mets. My 3 month scans showed minimal shrinkage of the tumor in my liver, but all my numbers were going down. Just had my 6 month scan and there is a huge shrinkage of the tumor.

This depression sucks!!
It must be the
Ibrance
/letrozole accumulation. This is by far the worst of my symptoms. I don't want more pharmaceuticals for depression. Anyone else dealing with this?

Ibrance / Letrozole and Bloating anyone?
I am finishing up week 2 of my first cycle on the
Ibrance
125mg / Letrozole combo. The further I get in to this the more I have been experiencing extreme bloating (to the point where my stomach is so extended I look about 4-6 mos preggers).

Ibrance Letrozole Newbie
Just started my first round about a week ago. Took till last night but the nausea seems to be kicking in. For whatever reason, I seem to get every possible side effect that ever seems to come with any prescription drug. Have any of you tried holistically to combat the nausea? I hate prescription drugs
