Enhertu now?
I have tried other options before my onc is considering Enhertu such as Xeloda,
Afinitor
, Orserdu, Turqap and many other drugs that are available. I think you may need a second or third opinion. Before starting Truqap I consulted with 2 other oncologists.

Looking for options after Verzenio.
Spoke with my onc today and she said if Verzenio fails she’s thinking about
Afinitor
. Said I’m running out of options and IV chemo might not be far off after that. I’ve been on Faslodex, Anastrozole, Ibrance and Verzenio is my 3rd line of treatment. No mutations.

I've been going thru a lot of treatments, I began with ibrance and faslodex, then
Afinitor
and aromasin, that stopped because I got pneumonitis, the dr then switched me to kisquali and letrozole. After more progression I was on Zeloda.

Exemestane and Afinitor
I am now moving on to Exemestane and
Afinitor
. I would so appreciate any experience that anyone has had on these 2 meds. I’m mostly interested in the side effects. I’m very nervous since my husband had to call 911 for me last week. Thank you for listening. Lori

Bloomberg News wants to talk with you
Other treatments we are particularly interested in include cabozantinib,
afinitor
, and Trodelvy. We're hoping to speak to some patients who have first-hand experience with an expensive cancer treatment that turned out to be disappointing.

Metastatic breast cancer and lung cancer
Started oral chemo on
Afinitor
and exemestane shortly thereafter. Have had gamma radiation times three for liver mets and currently have three new tumors in my liver. Will have a PET scan and liver biopsy then regroup with oncologist.

Afinitor +ESR1 mutation for the hive mind.
Hi I am starting
Afinitor
on Wednesday after a mixed scan a few weeks ago after 6 months on Orserdu. It suddenly dawned on me that
Afinitor
is combined with estrogen therapy, likely an AI. But doesn't the ESR1 mutation cause AI resistance? In which case does that make
Afinitor
less effective?

coughing
So now I’m back on prednisone and next week we will discusss switching to
Afinitor
because it seems I’ll develop the cough when on a ciclib drug.

May be deciding between Afinitor and Enhertu. Thoughts?
That said, I hear
Afinitor
can also be rough, and not always effective? OR am I just down a rabbit hole. Would love to hear first hand experiences from people with experience with both/either. Thanks!!

Starting Enhertu
After failing to get
Afinitor
approved by insurance and not receiving any financial assistance from the manufacturer my oncologist has chosen to use Enhertu infusions.She says every three weeks.Also she says I have used all the types of pills available so if Enhertu fails I would need to look into trials

Xeloda and Afinitor in lieu of Piqray
In seeking out a second opinion I’ve been told to inquire about Xeloda and
Afinitor
. Just curious if anyone has experience with these as they don’t specifically target the PIK3CA gene mutation. Thanks!

At a crossroads
I am now comparing Xeloda with
Afinitor
and wondering if you all have any information to share about side effects from these medicines. Any ideas are welcome!

Afinitor/Everolimus and Tamoxifen is next :(
Now I start Tamoxifen with
Afinitor
🤞🤞🤞 I am really, really hoping I'm one of those who don't get too bad a time on this regimen, yet it seems that most DO have a fairly challenging time?

Extra Afinitor 10 mg and 7.5 mg
I have had bad side effects from
Afinitor
. My oncologist has taken me off
Afinitor
and will be putting me on Xeloda. I gave a week of the 10mg still in the blister pack and two weeks of the 7.5mg in their blister packs. The 7.5 mg is the generic form of
Afinitor
.

Afinitor side effects
Started on aromatase and
Afinitor
10 days ago and having trouble handling side effects— they hit me so hard and feel it’s not worth going on. The cancer has metastasized to my liver and a small area in my spine so don’t have a lot of options….does anyone in this wonderful community have advice?

allergic reaction to aromasin
My dr thought it was
Afinitor
that I was allergic to. I started Aromasin again. 5 days later I had a rash all over and my arms and legs are swelled with Lymphodema. It’s really awful. Any suggestions for the rash or Lymphodema. I never had Lymphodema before this.

Mets in liver
Now I take Aromasin and
Afinitor
. Few people seem to be on these meds. Aren’t there newer ones? Please tell me what meds you’re taking for bone and liver Mets. ER+.
