Hi! I have been on Ibrance and anastrazole now for 2.5 years. Fatigue is real -- but I still play golf and Sunday we biked over 20 miles. My oncology doc does not seem concerned about my blood work results and lowered immunity. She says if I develop a fever, etc to contact her, but so far so good. We have traveled some but have always worn masks and have wiped everything down as we have traveled. Again, so far, so good.
We are walking the line between living in the now and being very careful with my health and diagnosis. Best of luck as you make decisions. Be sure your insurance will cover the cost of Ibrance!

Thank you so much for all information about the ibrance . I started on 125mg in March.I had my first breast cancer in 1996 went through chemo radiation and estrogen blockers . I’m 2014 breast cancer again had a double mastectomy no treatment. I’m 2021 had a T9 compression fracture In my spine and was diagnosed with stage 4 . It’s in a few bones . Tumor markers are way down. It’s sounds like you are doing really well on the ibrance . That’s always wonderful to hear..I also play golf snd walk but do get tired and have to rest a little more. Do you notice tiredness ?

Thank you for the detailed response it was very helpful. I too want to travel and have always been very careful. The copay is very high but there's some programs I hope will make it more affordable. That fatigue is real but you are still active is hopeful info for me.
