For Breast Cancer, Metastatic: I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, Metastatic MBC (liver and bones) Feb 2020. I am having my 5th cycle of Ibrance and Letrozol now and I feel great. First two months were hard to manage, I felt very tired, no appetite and lots of bad headaches. During my 3rd cycle I stated to feel suddenly better and now I do not have any side effects at all. The combo works for me, but quite slowly. My markers are getting down, my liver tests are better, but far from normal.But I feel great, like normal me. I will switch to another drug soon. |

For Breast Cancer, Metastatic: I began taking Ibrance, Faslodex and Zometa in Febraury 2019. Since then I have had three CT Scans. The CT Scans have shown marked reduction. I have had few side effects if any. This drug was designed to give cancer patients like me more time. I am privately insured. The Pfizer program pays for my out of pocket cost each month.
