Ibrance (Palbociclib)
A bottle of Ibrance came in the mail today. I will start taking it tonight with Femara. Hoping that others starting on this drug will join me here to talk about side effects and how to avoid or treat them. So far, I've been warned about low white counts. I run very low as it is, probably because of my extensive bone mets.…

decisions to be made--DCIS suspicious for microinvasion
Hi everyone, This is my first time posting. I have a DCIS (grade 3 ER+ PR+) diagnosis and am kind of stuck between having a mastectomy or trying cryoablation first.
