    Mandy, if you are Stage 2, why do they have you on ibrance? I was on dx with stage 2 invasive ductal cancer, not in lymph nodes. Had mastectomy with reconstruction. 17 yrs later it came back in other side. Stage 4. I was 44 the first time.. the 2nd time was in 2012. Surgery again, chemo, radiation, letrozole.. letrozole lasted 1 and half. Drs didn't catch that it came back until Feb of 2015. I was put on ibrance then because it had spread to my bones. I am 68 and doing good so far.

    Mandy, I have been on Inrance for 5 yrs. Normally it on lasts for 9-10 months and I am stage 4. I take it with Faslodex. Keep taking it
