I have breast cancer that has metastasized in my bones. Taking Letrazole and Ibrance. They seem to be working. Has anyone has had good outcome from these?

It's encouraging to hear that your current treatment approach appears to be showing positive results. Many patients in this community have shared experiences with these medications for bone metastases, and connecting with others who understand this journey can provide valuable insights and support.

I’ve had Stage 4 metastatic for 11 years. Original breast surgery 47 years ago. I was on Letrozole for 9 years when it stopped working. Now on Ibrance and Xgeva. Minor naseau and weakness. Worse thing is the neuropathy . I do use legal medical marijuana for the bone pain (mets to bone, liver and sternum). Doing fairly well, but then I am 73 🙃‼️

Hi Swarna, I had mets in my lungs, and possibly in my ribs too. I started Ibrance & Letrozole in June 2022. On my last CT scan in Sept 2023 there was no visible metastasis, and my side effects on these meds are pretty manageable. I hope you have good results too. ❤️ Be sure to communicate with your doctor or pharmacist if you have any side effects or any questions as you go.

I was on IBrance and Letrazole for 2 years it worked, the only reason I had to stop was due to WBC going too low (down to 0.6).
