For Breast Cancer "First diagnosed in 2017, surgery and on tamoxifen for 3 years. In May 2023, a PET CT showed two lymph nodes in the armpit and one in the internal mammary that tested positive. I had surgery for the axillary node, but the internal mammary was in an inoperative condition. I received nodal radiation and a treatment of 600 mg of ribociclib, 2.5 mg of letrozole, and zoladex every 3 months. My medical oncologist told me that everything would be good after 4 rounds, and he was right, my PET CT was clear. Now I am in remission with the adjuvant setting, and my dose of ribociclib has been reduced to 400 mg prescribed for 3 years. The side effects are mainly hot flashes, which I discussed with my doctor, and he told me that it is because of zoladex and that I have to bear with it. Otherwise, it is very tolerable."

Ribociclib for Breast Cancer, Metastatic "Kisqali did not make me feel ill, however, I did lose a substantial amount of hair. Plus, I have a red, itchy rash on my skin (legs and arms). I also pass blood in my urine after exercising, however, I don't know if this is from Kisqali or the stent in my urethra."

Ribociclib for Breast Cancer "Severe medical PTSD kept me from tx for 14 years p/ finding the lump, and trauma tx was delayed due to gaslighting about medical PTSD. When I became able to re-enter the medical system, my HR+, HER2- BC had metastasized only to contralateral axillary lymph nodes (early stage 4). I started Letrozole first and the tumors improved just on Letrozole, but once I started Kisqali after a normal EKG, initially new tumors stopped forming, the skin healed, bleeding stopped and existing tumors shrank and continue to shrink (slower now than initially). Dosage was cut to 400 mg/day due to neutropenia after 3 months. Just finished 1 year on the med. Most recent scans show no bone mets, no lymph nodes and no progression near the primary tumor. Perceptible side effects minimal. Slight fatigue, hard to retain muscle, loose stools. I use a lot of supportive supplements. Dealing with the pharmacy is a nightmare but the med itself I could hardly be happier. I definitely did not expect such positive results when I started tx."

For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "No serious side effects. Have experienced skin rashes, very itchy, minimum hair loss. Am tired a lot/ low energy. I wear dentures, however, my lower jaw is sore constantly. Appetite is decent. This is my 1st month on this prescription. Dosage, I started at 600 mg but due to my memory or lack of it, dosage reduced to 400 mg for 21 days on and 7 days off meds."
