Hello, I would like to join in here too please and send love to everyone going through this. My primary was found in January 2017 after finding a lump in my left breast. I had a mastectomy and was prescribed Anastrozole. I was very unlucky to have a chest wall recurrence on the same side later the same year. After the lump was removed I then had five and a half weeks of radiotherapy during 2018. Last year I had a chest x-ray as I'd had a cough for a few months and then after a Ct scan they discovered cancer in my lymph nodes and secondaries in my spine. I too was devastated to get this news and was unable to process it for quite a few weeks. I am taking Palbociclib, Exemestrane and have Denosumab injections every four weeks. My PET-CT scan in January showed the cancer in the lymph nodes have reduced by almost half and the spine mets are stable. The only side effects I have noticed has been loss of nose hair (!!) eyebrows and now my hair is thinning a lot. I have been able to continue working full-time and only feel tired on the fourth week of the cycle. I feel so lucky to have been able to have the Palbociclib and hope it gives me many more years! So glad that we all have each other on here for advice xx
