It is proposed that I am put on Fulvestrant injections and Abemaciclib after being on Letrozole since June 24 but Ct scans have shown further issues beyond the metastasised breast cancer in my bone marrow. I am concerned about the doubling up of side effects particularly the suppressed immune system.
Has anyone experience of this treatment plan?
Hi Sapphire51
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I don't have the experience you're looking for, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
You might also like to join and put your post up in the secondary breast cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others whose breast cancer has metastasised.
If this is something that you'd like to do, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
