Ibrance and Fulvestrant for Stage 4 MBC, Lung Fills w Fluid

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.

Hi pbnew,
Good question . No, I dont think its a side effect since it started first . Initially I had a GP who started prescribing all kinds of asthma inhalers , but I took myself off that , since I had side effects like couldn't sleep well , shaking hands , and developed a cough .. I do not have asthma either . She is now my former GP , hahah. The weird thing is just so much liquid , 1500 cc each drain ! Thats like a huge bottle of Pepsi , or a football sized bag of nastiness . At least then I can breathe better , and sleep better , so I am grateful when it's done and I'm heading out the door to go home. Had that neutropenia / low wbc also with Ibrance , but the lower dose of 100mg works better now . What treatment are you doing now ? Best , PJ
