Hi all,

I was diagnosed with secondary bone cancer in jan this year, I’m on my 4th cycle of ribociclib, fulvestrant, letrozole, zolodex and denosumab. I had a ct scan nearly 2 weeks ago and I’m due to get my results next Thursday and I’m so nervous incase the treatment isn’t working for me. My mets are in my spine in a few places, all unchanged since they were picked up on last October which I know is a positive and also my ct scan in jan was also unchanged. Is anyone else on this combo and had a good scan result?

thank you for reading xx

Sorry no one replied till now. I am on my 6th cycle of ribociclib, letrozole and was getting denosimab until it was suspended for 3 months due to covid in March. I had a scan after 3 cycles of ribociclib and it showed everything was stable. I feel well on it and am hoping the next scan in July will also show stability. Good luck with your results, is always so horrible waiting.

Hi!
I have taken drugs quite similar to you for my secondary breast cancer and the majority of my spine has tumours in I think maybe 5 are clear and 3 yrs later my tumours in my spine are still stable so try to stay positive it really helps xx
