Piqray (alpelisib) "I have Metastatic Stage IV breast cancer and Piqray left me with 24 hour nausea; a nausea that was so severe I lost 30lb and could not eat or drink. I was so ill that I actually wanted to die and it was when my refills was delayed that I found myself feeling better and better with minimal nausea. I did take one dose when my Rx came and I was back to 24 hour nausea. I then made the decision to stop the Piqray then and have not looked back. Piqray wasmaking me worst than my cancer."

Piqray (alpelisib) "MBC to bone, spine. Taking Ibrance for 6 years. Piqray has side effects like every cancer medication. Doctor was very adamant in letting them know if side effects became worst, so they could change dosage. Worst side effect would be to have my cancer grow. So, I deal with diarrhea, sores in mouth, diabetes, fatigue. Let your oncologist know, so they could help with the medications. It’s the only way to prevent cancer."
