    My Mother had been prescribed Ibrance in Feb 2017 after her breast cancer was discovered to have spread into her spine in a couple spots. In June, her MRI and scans show that it has spread throughout her spine, her hip, and her ribs. It seems like it hasn't helped at all and may have contributed to additional growth.

    Started Ibrance 125 mg with Letrozole in Feb 2017. That medication burned my hand so bad I had to wear gloves to shower, couldn't touch anything it was a really bad. Once I got off the 125 mg my hands started pealing, it was bad. Now I am on 100mg it's better now but the medication makes me very tired. Had my pet scan done on May 15 praying all is well.
