Hello All,
On 4th cycle of Ibrance , and also taking faslodex (fulvestrant ) shots / My R lung keeps filling w fluid , having a drain procedure called thoracentesis , at the hospital , roughly every 10 days , just to breathe . I have been searching for someone who has anything like this , as their reality ,and have found ZERO . It's a "Wait and See " situation , and am hoping for anything positive. I feel like it's all for nothing sometimes , and then jump back into positive hopefulness , all I have to hold onto for now … So discouraging ,but at least the side effects aren't stopping me , so count my blessings for that anyway . PET SCAN tomorrow has me worried , since I don't know why it would keep filling , if the treatmt is retarding the cancer .... wish me luck !

Hoping your PET scan has good results regarding your treatment and gives some answers regarding your right lung. Best regards,💚🙏

Is the fluid a side effect of the Ibrance? I haven’t seen this issue discussed on other forums. It must be an awful experience. I stopped Rebociclib because it made me so breathless I almost collapsed. But it wasn’t a lung issue. It was a nosedive in the white blood count.
