Alternative drug to Palbocyclib

I have secondary breast cancer and have been on Palbocyclib for 5 months. A PET scan has just showed that Palbocyclib has had no effect and the cancer is spreading.. Are there alternative drugs that can be given that work differently from Palbocyclib

  • Hi there and thanks for your post

    I am so sorry to hear about your situation, it must be upsetting to find out the treatment isn't working for you.

    Unfortunately without being directly involved in your care we cannot say for sure what other treatment options may be available to you but do speak with your own team about this to find out more.

    We have general information treatment options for secondary breast cancer on our website and secondary breast cancer treatment on Breast cancer Now that may also be useful to read.

    I hope you know more soon and that the team is able to find something to try and help control your cancer.

    Please get back in touch if you need to or alternatively give us a call on 0808 800 4040 if you prefer.

    Wishing you all the best
