For hair loss I read in a cancer journal in the Dr's office to try peppermint oil, and it worked. They said it works as well as Rogaine in the study.

They did reduce my doses too because of a low white count. But so far Ibrance is working, having a PET test at the end of the month

God bless you. There are other treatments and hopefully your doctor can find one you can tolerate. I know it’s hard but there’s hope. I don’t think it is a matter of being strong it’s a matter of getting the right treatment.

I have been on IBrance and the monthly shots for over 2 years now. I had radiation for 2 weeks in the beginning and was extremely tired. You have to give yourself permission to rest, even take a nap when you’re tired. You’ll feel better sooner rather than trying to push through the exhaustion. I have numerous lesions which are not active currently, so the regimen is working. I try to keep my mind occupied but never overdo. I’ll divide a big job into small pieces and do a little at a time. Be kind to yourself and never do more than you feel like. I do have other side effects but so far the treatment is working for me. God bless you and your family.
