@annewaa I had to look up where that was on the sternum. I have mets on the sternum. 2nd rib and the sacrum 3 all up 1 on each. All found at ct and bone scan. Had annoying pain at night. So it was investigated. That was in 2019 confirmed in 2020.
I had my AI changed to a stronger one then Ibrance added when the lesions kept growing. Last year i had targeted radiation to the rib and sacral lesion. Couldn’t do the sternum as it had been radiated in initial treatment.
My oncologist referred me to the radiology oncologist who agreed it was worth a try to try stop the growth and hopefully shrink them. As my CA-15 markers where not dropping. It appears to have worked my markers started coming down. though it did take 6 months to stop the growth, coming up to 5 mths of no osteoblastic activity and no additional growth. And markers are down to 32 last blood test Im on the anastrosol and Ibrance (palbociclib) until it stops working or the side effects become unbearable
Good luck with the treatment i hope you have success with yours.
We don’t all have the same treatments or outcomes I just do mostly what I’m told to do by my treating team. I don’t always understand everything but can usually find the answers on here. Its my rant - and research place.
