Please those who were given Xeloda for tumors in the liver that keep growing.
The tamoxifen and
afinitor
I was on for two months has done nothing. I had my CT scan six weeks early on Tuesday, read it on my portal on Wednesday and today met with my onco. She said the last option is Xeloda (capche.....(generic name).

treatment change
Not sure if I go with a parp since I have brca 2 mutation or xeloda or
afinitor
plus aromasin? Do I go for a trial? Would love opinions or med combos that have worked with those of you with lobular. Thanks! ❤️ Mandy

Holiday inspiration!
My doctor agreed I could start on Exemestane (Aromasin) and add Everolimus (
Afinitor
) when I came home. So, after another fright when it looked like strikes in Reykjavik might cause cancellation, we did actually make it!

Xeloda
I am now going to be put on this since it spread to my liver and her treatment of tamoxifen and
afinitor
did not work bc my scan last week showed it has continued to spread in my liver. She mentioned I would be taking 8 pills per day broken down into four pills twice per day.

Any advice? Considering ending treatment.
She then put me on tamoxifen (20 mg.) and
afinitor
. I was on that for two months and it appeared from the bloodwork, she did not seem to think it was working.

Too Much Sleep
Afternoon Ladies, I'm on
Afinitor
, Letrozole & Xgeva. I'm doing really well on this combo, as far as getting rid of the cancer, but quality of life...none. I literally sleep about 20-22 hours a day. I get up, I'm up about an hour and then all I want is to go back to sleep.

Death (Pls just scroll by and do not read if topic will upset you)
It appears the tamoxifen and
afinitor
may not be working for these liver tumors. It is already in my lungs and spine for a while. I have one friend that lives in FL and they had agreed (like three years ago) that they would come and clean out my apt. when that time comes.

Letrozole Joint/Muscle Pain
I've recently switched to
Afinitor
& Letrozole. The side effects, joint & muscle pain, of Letrozole are taking a toll. Currently, I take both in the morning with just water. Would taking them both at night help? Or maybe
Afinitor
in the am and Letrozole in the pm? Any tips appreciated!

Does anyone have experience with Enhertu? I was HER2 - low in 2019 and my last liver biopsy was HER2 - 0. Planning to start Enhertu next.
Here is what I’ve been on so far: 1) Fulvestrant and Fasoldex/Pablociclib for 15 months - stopped due to progression in the bone 2) Piqray/Alpelesib and Letrozole for 1 month - had to stop due to severe rash 3)
Afinitor
/Everolimus and exemestane for 8 months - stopped due to pneumonitis and progression

Two interesting articles related to palbociclib
Overexpressed cyclin D1 and CDK4 proteins are responsible for the resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitor in breast cancer that can be reversed by PI3K/mTOR inhibitors I’ll post sometime later (long post) an update on my wife’s treatment, but unfortunately she had to stop palbociclib after 29 months and is now on

Changing Meds to Xeloda/capecitabine
I was on
Afinitor
/Everolimus and Letrozole/Femara for 6 months. I developed pneumonitis and had blood in my sputum when I coughed so now after a two month break and radiation therapy I will be moving on to Xeloda next week if my labs are good. Any advice on Xeloda is greatly appreciated.
