I am 65. Was diagnosed in 2016. Stage 2A IDC ER PR positive and HER2 negative. Another primary tumor was detected on the same breast ( invasive lobular carcinoma) so my oncologist decided to have a neo adjuvant treatment plan for me. For 6 months I took 3 tablets of Ribociclib for 21 days rest for 7 days and then resume. I also take Letrozole continuously. The combines pills shrunk my tumor from 2.9 cm to 1 cm. I just had a mastectomy three weeks ago. I will continue to take these medicines for 6 more months. Then Letrozole alone for 2 years. In between I will have to undergo blood tests, Denosumab injections ( once a year) and PET Scans.

Thank you for sharing. What side effects if any did you experience? Was the shrinkage on the ILC tumor or the IDC? What was the dosage of Ribociclib? Ribociclib was the other drug option that is on the table for me...
