I was diagnosed with MBC bone mets in September 2013. I have been on Xgeva the whole time - started out once a month and now get shots every three months. I haven't had a bone scan in a while but my last one showed a great deal of improvement in the bone mets. I am now on Ibrance (cycle 4), Faslodex every 4 weeks and Xgeva every three months. My tumor markers have slowly been going up which is why my oncologist put me on the Ibrance. He wants to do a PET scan if the tumor markers continue to go up. I hear it takes a while for the Ibrance to take effect so I am not concerned. Taking a cruise to Alaska in two weeks so I can worry about the MBC stuff when I get back. Keep a positive attitude. There are so many great meds out there. I am on an Ibrance blog which has some very positive input and information from others. If you get on Ibrance you might google that and get on there. It is very specific to that and MBC. Very supportive. Best wishes.
