I cannot tell you how heartbreaking it is to hear that this has come back. The biopsies under the arm are the pits! (Pun intended) Because you can’t keep your arm still, and that skin has to move with it. Your next treatment options will be dictated by what your particular cancer looks like. You might want to check out this thread that has other folks on Ibrance and letrozole, I bet there will be some common ground there.

I would love to hear back from you, when do you hope to find out about the spread beyond the nodes? Did your doctor order a PET scan?
