Questions about my stage IV

Excuse me I’m new here, I’ll get caught up on the lingo.


I am a stage 4 ER+ breast cancer patient and it has moved to a lymph node, some bone, and pushing the fluid into my pleural area of one lung. I am currently taking ibrance and famara. I just started my second 21 day round.


I have a drain in place and they are draining every other day. My question is; when did you see a significant drop in the fluid? I’m getting worried that this is my only chance at time. I have three grown children but young grandchildren. I need time. My family needs time.

Thank you,

Kathy
