Breast cancer with bone mets: Reduced treatment & living life

@denisedm2026 Can I ask about the Verzenio? I was going to try it after trying many different hormone blockers, but then my Doc said it MUST be taken with a hormone blocker, that the FDA has only approved that. I told her I will not go back on AI's, Fulvestrant, or Tamoxifen because of awful side effects. So now I'm not on anything for BC.
I am thinking of getting a second opinion at a different Oncology treatment Ctr.
Thanks.

@jardinera25 I do pretty well on both tamoxifen and Verzenio as long as the Verzenio stays at 100mg x2 daily. I did have some bone aches when I first started on Tamoxifen. That got better over time and I also started taking Claritin and cherry tart. I’m not sure if it would have gotten better on its own though.
I have ER/PR+ BC, so clearly taking tamoxifen helps stopping my hormones from feeding the cancer.

@jardinera25 A second opinion is always a great idea even third if you need it
