For Breast Cancer "I have been taking this for 18 months of the 2 years I am supposed to take it but am thinking of asking the consultant if I can come off it. I suffered initially with severe diarrhea but not for too long, however, the initial dose of 100 mg twice daily gave me excruciating lower abdomen pain, so this was dropped back to 50 mg twice daily and that dose suited me. As my infection resistance has, I believe, diminished over the months last year, I repeatedly had UTIs which, in the end, the GP put me on a preventative dose of Trimethoprim 100 mg daily. 10 months down the line, this is now not holding back the infection, which is why, amongst other things which are getting worse, I will be having the discussion with my consultant. Other side effects are now blood in my urine (which could be the long-term antibiotics), I am much more tired and have more bad days than good, aches in my hips and legs, sore gums, and sometimes no appetite at all."

For Breast Cancer "Besides diarrhea, vomiting, I became very light-headed, even when sitting down. Almost fell about 3 times, twice when in the shower. The light-headedness has continued for 2 weeks even after the doctor told me to stop taking it. I'm hoping this is not permanent, as it has made ordinary daily tasks extremely difficult."

For Breast Cancer "I have been on Verzenio for 14 months. After 2 months, it shrank my tumor by 60%, and after 12 months, bone mets were almost gone. A 12-month PET scan showed no active cancer cells."
