For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "On Kisqali for breast cancer mets and after 3 rounds, the tumor markers are down, and one lesion in the left rib has completely cleared up, and another in the sternum has shrunk from 4 cm to 2 cm. Lots of side effects but minor compared to IV chemo, which I had 15 years ago. Some hair loss, constipation, joint pain, blurry vision on occasion. Still give it 10 out of 10"

For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "I made it 5 rounds before my liver enzymes just wouldn't go down. It shrunk everything by at least half! My RBC and neutrophils are right on the line. Not sure what's next for me -- I was on the Kisqali/Femara combo with monthly injections of Xgeva and Zoladex. I struggled with constipation and dried out everything -- but that might be from being forced into menopause. If you happen to be on this combo: Some hair thinning, unexplained blurry and double vision, rage!, dementia, balance problems, sleep problems, and thyroid issues -- but from what I've heard, a million times easier than old school chemo. (I have had a brain MRI and it was all clear) Stage 4 de novo, ER+ Her2- Original tumor 8cms with mets to ribs and hip"

For Breast Cancer "Just diagnosed. One month so far. 600mg. I take them with dinner, and no nausea. Mild headaches, so drink lots of water. Constipation, so again, drink your water. Stool softener will help. Mild rash, no itching. Light hair loss in the shower. Fatigue is prevalent."

For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "In size. There are side effects: fatigue, reflux, constipation, heart rate disturbances (not sure if this is due to Kisqali or Letrozole). Hope it won't be worse, working, managing a social life."
