Anyone had cancer return while taking hormone therapy meds?

Yes. I was on Letrazole them Anastrozole for 5 years. My cancer returned last July. Mets to liver. Had an ablation. Now on Faslodex and Ribociclib.
Ricociclib has caused neutropenia. My schedule changed to 3 weeks on 2 weeks off.

I may have a local recurrence ( awaiting biopsy anxiously) after a mastectomy 2.5 years ago - no rad- but on Anastrozole! So is this a possible resistance to anastrozole? A “clib” med may be on horizon if so.
Is the Ribociclib a two year regiment or ongoing ?
So sorry to hear this recurrence; it’s never really “ over” for us! So frustrating and scary. So glad you found it and seem to be dealing well with the modification in treatment.
Best to you and all of us on this unwanted journey! 🌸
So it was within the fives years of taking the medication or when you completed it?
Recurrence found ( by me feeling a cherry pit size nodule near original tumor site) after mastectomy 2.5 years ago. No rad nor chemo ( onco informed ). Regret I opted out of rad! 2.5 years anastrazole.
Now Verzenio or Kisquali being recommended post excision as well as radiation.
I’m sorry to hear of your side effects … seems like a long list of concerns. Of course I’m stunned and worried about what is happening.
Has neutropenia been helped by the new regimen? Hoping it has.
Best to you and all of us on the unwanted journey.

I’m sorry to hear this!
How was the new cancer discovered?
Did you have any symptoms?
