Hi all,
I’ve recently finished my chemotherapy and am now waiting to start radiotherapy. I’ve been prescribed exemestane 25 mg along with monthly Zoladex injections for the next five years. My oncologist also mentioned Ribociclib, but she said it would only offer around a 2% benefit in my case, so it may not be worth adding.
I also asked about bone-strengthening injections, but she explained that they usually recommend them when the Predict.can score is 3% or higher — mine was 2.1%, so she didn’t feel they were needed.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had similar treatment after completing chemotherapy. What was your experience like?
