Breast Cancer, Metastatic
"My mom has been on ibrance for over a year now. She had breast cancer in 2004, came back in 2010, then came back last year at the beginning of 2016 and had spread to her bones and skull. The medication has been wonderful. Definitely side effects but that is expected. Overall there has been little, if any, growth of the cancer. We had no idea how long it would  be effective but we are going on 15 months now and she just got head MRI results today and still looks good. She will get pet scan in June or July to assess full body but we are so fortunate. This medication truly has bought us so much extra time with her. I pray everyone has positive effects with the medication. Stay strong and hopeful. There are always new treatments on the horizon."
