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 have been on Kisqali since September 2018, with no disease progression. Tumor markers in the “normal” range. Side effects: nausea, diarrhea, joint pain, some hair loss in the early stages, the occasional rash or skin sensitivity, fatigue. Having said all of this, I am living my life, working full-time and traveling when possible... life is good!"

For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "De novo diagnosis 3/21/18, started 600 mg with 2.5 mg Femara on 3/23/18. Single bone met on right humeral head. Complete remission in July 2019 (after 16 months). 32 months since diagnosis, still clear scans. Some hair thinning at first, along with occasional nausea, blurry vision (mostly in the AM), joint pain, and fatigue. Fatigue is the worst part for me, but my quality of life has not changed at all."
