For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, mets to bone, this past April. I have been on Faslodex (5 months), Xgeva (4 months), and Ibrance (2+ months). My Dr. has weaned me off everything because of side effects of EXTREME fatigue, weakness, nausea, shortness of breath, bone pain, dizziness, low white blood cells (WBC), which is from the Ibrance. I can tell the Xgeva was responsible for the majority of my weakness, but the Faslodex still has me so weak that I want to buy a walker. I can also tell you that my nurse warmed my shot for 20 to 30 minutes and gave me my injections high on my butt, with no weight on the corresponding leg, and that I had no pain whatsoever. I also used Biotin mouthwash per dentist. I have two weeks until Faslodex is entirely out of my system. It did work in healing my lesions per my CT scans, it's just the side effects were too debilitating."
