Hi my breast cancer has spread after 10 years to my sturnum so have been put on Fulvestrant injections once a month and Palbociclib every day tablet for 3 weeks and then one week off.
If anyone else on this combo and if so how are you getting on?
Hi Spicegirl sorry to hear your cancer has returned, I hope you are doing ok. I noticed your post hasn't had any replies yet and as the site is quite busy it's dropped down a few pages. I don't have the right experience myself, but this answer will bump you back up to the top and I hope someone will be along soon to answer your question. Best wishes
Thank you sooo much for taking the time to answer me x my hair is thinning too and I have just said to my husband that it’s funny we go from thinking we are going to die to when we are given meds that our hair thinning is what we focus on. It’s so important to me and I have considered a hair piece, I had hair extensions last year which I loved but didn’t solve the top of my hair which was thinning, so thank you I will investigate a hair piece. I have been told that my two meds will last a year before the cancer breaks through it so am booking lots of holidays while I can. Xxx
