"Been on Kisqali for 2 years. Doing OK on it. Some side effects I have are not normal side effects of Kisqali. My side effects have varied with my first breast cancer (07), radiation wasn't so bad. Then my second breast cancer (11) was aggressive, took tamoxifen, lots of side effects. Had mastectomy (12). Third breast cancer (22) prescribed Kisqali and letrozole, all kinds of side effects. Now taking 1 200 mg 1x day. Easy to use. Get through a patient assistance program."

"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."

"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."
