I have been on this treatment for 2 months and get my 1st bone and CT scans this week. My breast cancer has spread to my hip and my liver. Just wondering how this treatment is working for others.

I have not been on this combination. I have a friend who is and it has shrunk her tumors, over 6 months they are shrunk down to almost nothing. The doctor says they are there but shrinking and not growing or moving to new locations. He scans her every three months. This is a recurrence for her, and scan week is the longest week, waiting on results. How do you handle that time?
How are you tolerating the side effects of these meds? Is this your first diagnosis or a recurrence?

Hi @jbp, I'd like to add my welcome. I moved your question to this existing discussion:
- Abemaciclib (Verzenio) and fulvestrant (Falsodex) Treatment https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/abemaciclib-and-falsodex-treatment/

I did this so you can connect with @thielmann1 who is taking the same regimen.

Jbp, how have the side effects been for you? Thinking of you as you get ready for the upcoming scans.
