Hi all again, my quality of life has now deteriorated to the point I am considering starting on Palbociclib CDK 4/6 inhibitor together with an anti aromatise like Letrozol. What has anyone’s experience been with these drugs? I am concerened about my bones, jawbones and hair. How did you feel on these drugs and what positive effects did they have? Did they shrink your cancer?
My quality of life is lessened as my lung capacity has diminished by 20% and my arm movement is restricted to the point I find it really difficult to put my hair up. I also feel nauseous quite a lot and constant pain , soreness and irritation from the radiation fibrosis. All the docs think I have Stage 4 cancer. Next week I will finally have a couple of MRIs so we can find out what is really going on inside my axilla and brachia plexus. Also I have developed a large breast cancer in my other breast and the lymph nodes in that axilla. The docs think they can shrink my cancers with these hormone blockers. What is your experience??
Would be very grateful for your responses

So sorry to hear you are going through this. I don’t have knowledge on the meds but can only offer you hope. Please don’t give up and ask our Lord to guide the hands of your treatment team. Follow the onco treatment and continue to fight. You will be in good hands.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. I don't have experience with those particular medicines but it may be best if you try them. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong!!🌷
