kesquali

hello everyone, I started taking kesquali 2 weeks ago. After first two doses I had to stop b/c of nausea and headaches (one day stop). I restarted and am at end of 2nd week; again experiencing same symptoms. What have your experiences been with this drug? Does the side effects get better as your body adjust or will I be dealing with this the ENTIRE time I am taking it?

Hello Mimosa412; I have been on Kisqali for two years and my biggest side effect is fatigue. Once in a while I do have nausea but not to the extent you seem to be describing. I was given some anti nausea meds which I have used very rarely. No headaches for me either. Sorry I can't be of help. Wishing you luck as you seek help.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering are you taking this as an adjuvent therapy or do you actively have metastesis to another area? Sorry if question is too personal and totally understand if you do not want to answer, just trying to get a handle on this. I was precribed as an adjuvent therapy myself.

Hi mimosa, I’ve been on Kisqali now for just over a year for metastatic br ca in the pleura . Initially I had the same problems as you. However, the dose was reduced to one tablet a day which solved the nausea and diarrhoea. Now it’s just the occasional fatigue . The scans show everything is stable and life is carrying on. I feel lucky. I do hope that you start feeling better and the drug works for you.
