@junec. I have met bc to the bones. I have now gone thru all three of the AI’s, as I have had severe reactions to each of the meds to the point when on exemestane had me feel like I was dying. There have been recent articles about ibrance on the mews and there seems to be such a slight benefit it may or may not be worth taking. If it makes you feel worse and only gives you 3-4 more months of pain and agony is it worth it? I don’t mean to sound pessimistic but having this disease is hard enough but the horrific side effects I had were worse. Have decided to take a natural route, but this is not for everyone.

Hi. I’m new to this thread. Got similar diagnosis in January 2022. I’ve taken Letrozole for 3 months with no issues. Started Ribociclib, similar to Ibrance, end of March. It was awful. I’m disturbed that oncologists are not disturbed by low white blood count, high liver numbers and comprised immune system. I’d like to ask how are you doing with the natural route?

Thank you for sharing this. When I got diagnosed in Aug I started seeing a ND MD and he's placed me on a strict diet many vitamins and supplements ( which have some of the same properties as the drugs) and a Homeopathic MD virtually in Germany who has set up an herbal, homeopathic & cell salts protocol. The reason they're able to work with me as I haven't taken any drugs yet. I am looking into new Immunotherapy trials that would match my cell type. The journey begins, I applaud your courage.
