Metastatic breast cancer: Anyone else?

So I met with my oncologist yesterday. He wants me back on letrozole, which I took for five years. My MBC is still estrogen positive. Also a new pet scan to have a new base to compare from the old one in July before the lymph nodes were removed. Then scans every 3-4 months. Also after pet scan may put me on either Kisquali, Ibrance or Verzinio. I m checking with my insurance (Medicare RX) to see which drugs they cover and co pays. My drs office does have someone who deals with insurance and pharmaceuticals to obtain a co pay I can afford.
I would like to know how others have faired on these drugs. Was one better than the other as far as side effects? Does your body eventually adjust to the side effects so they become easier? Thanks for any impute. I am glad to now have a plan in place.
