Hi everyone, hope you’re good. I got good news I think, PET scan said no active disease. My husband asked if I could stop the Ibrance and he said that blood test that shows if you have cancer cells in the blood. I do it’s like 0.014%. I don’t know how to feel. Am I not supposed to have pain and nausea anymore, but I do. I’m have severe caloric decline, still can’t find much I will eat. What do you all do??? Please help. God bless ya all!!!!!!💗

It's completely understandable to feel confused when scan results show progress but symptoms persist. Many people in this community experience ongoing side effects and symptoms even when treatment is working well, as the body can take time to recover and medications can have lasting effects. The appetite issues and discomfort are real challenges that deserve attention from your medical team, who can best guide you on managing symptoms and treatment decisions based on your complete medical picture. This community has lots of experience with these concerns, so hopefully others will share what has helped them through similar situations.

I can only pray for a result like yours. God has blessed you. Your results make me hopeful. Your oncologist will guide you to your next option. I would follow their suggestion.
