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 SISTERS
Hello, I will be starting
Afinitor
and Aromasin this weekend. I hope those of you on this regimen can help me b sharing your experiences. I am starting on 5mg for
afinitor
because my MO wants to observe if there are any side effects I can’t handle.

Changing from 10mg Afinitor to 7.5.
my onc lowered my
Afinitor
to 7.5mg. The side effects were severe; mouth sores, muscle and joint pain, extreme change with taste buds, no appetite on 10mg. Did anyone else have to decrease the
afinitor
dosage? And did the side effects improve?

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

Slight progression question
Seco d, doctor thinks low 1/2 dose of
Afinitor
will decrease likelihood of mouth sores. Anyone with experience on this?

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

Post Xeloda Options…Enobosarm?
We’re currently contemplating the following options: Exemestane This is most commonly given in conjunction with
Afinitor
at this stage but Affinitor showed high of a risk for pneumonitis in the trials so that’s not an option for her (she previously had a very severe case of oneuminitis and her lungs

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
