"I have taken Ibrance for over 4 years, and twice in the hospital as I couldn't breathe. Now I see lungs are one of their side effects. Off it now for 3 weeks as it quit working. Blood is still low, so can't begin another, but like to breathe. Will all the drugs cause lung problems?"

"I took Ibrance for almost 7 years. I have stage 4 cancer, and Ibrance reduced tumors throughout the years I took it. It finally stopped working as well as it had to begin with, but the success I had with Ibrance gave me the time I needed to wait for other drugs to be developed. My only noticeable side effect: fatigue."

"I loved it. It was the first drug I tried after I was diagnosed. I had not had a mammogram for 3 years, so my original diagnosis was Stage 4. This drug worked like a charm. Brought my numbers down really low, and I felt good, except for fatigue. But they all affect me that way. My husband was dying of COPD, and I took care of him until the end. Great drug."
