Fulvestrant 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."

For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "I received 2 injections 7 days ago. Four days after, my blood pressure went down to 100/67. I had to stay in bed that day. I had a strange creepy feeling in my brain with the feeling of a lump inside my head. That went away. I have had tingling and muscle weakness in my hands and forearms. I have severe dizziness upon sitting up or closing my eyes in the shower. My voice is hoarse and faint. My doctor thinks I am making this up."
