Afinitor/Everolimus 10 mgs
Has anyone taken this chemo pill? I did and my then had such poor kidney function, my number was 3.9 and normal is in the ones! Now it’s normal again at 1.8. Has anyone taken another chemo drug called Exemestane, 25 mgs?

self-isolating
Please though, any one on either Ibrance or
Afinitor
, if you develope lung/breathing difficulties, call your onc immediately, like 2 am Sunday morning immediately! Both those meds can have extremely serious side effects in the lungs. I'm not sure that is stressed enough by oncs.

Got my scan result today
My bone mets and original liver mets are stable, and the lung damage caused by the
afinitor
is improved but there are 2 new liver mets. Because of this my chemo was cancelled and I had blood tests to see if I was suitable for Xeloda. I should get the results in 2 weeks time, so more waiting.

PET/MRI scans show new activity
So she has dropped the
Afinitor
/Exemestane combo and is going to start a new combo of a different pill (can't remember which one she chose and I haven't started it yet) with Fulvestrant injections.

First CT scan tomorrow after starting new treatment
After ibrance and faslodex stopped working in the summer, and
afinitor
and exemestane didn't work for me, the oncologist thinks that the cancer is now hormone negative, though the bones remained stable. I was accepted on a trial for cabazitaxel in January.

6 weeks on Afinitor
Hi ladies Well I’ve done over 6 weeks on my new meds...
Afinitor
and exemastane...no ulcers for which I’m grateful but I’m now feeling so weak so I texted my oncologist today requesting the 7.5 mg dose instead of 10mg and she’s agreed...hopefully I’ll perk up!!

Afinitor or clinical trial
But it may be irrelevant if I just choose to go on
afinitor
. I have not heard the best things about
afinitor
so that makes me lean toward the clinical trial but it is really up in the air until I get more information. If any of you have any thoughts for me on that, I would appreciate hearing them.

Update on barb
10 mg dose of
Afinitor
( why I don’t really understand but was the same with Ibrance) I gather the exemastane is similar to letrazole so I’m not too concerned with that drug...it’s the other one ugh!!

Cabazitaxel
Finally got my scan results today and unfortunately the
afinitor
hasn't done it's job. Bone mets are still stable, no new mets but the liver met has increased in size and there is possible lung damage. Oncologist is adamant that my next treatment has to be intravenous chemo.

Foundation one genomic testing
So mine matched
Afinitor
, I cannot take as I had bad reaction. The other one the found was IV chemo with Gemzar. So I will be starting chemo Jan 6 it will be three weeks on one week off. I hope it works as we have tried several cocktails that did not.

10 day suspension of afinitor
I was just getting to grips with
afinitor
and exemestane then I caught a cold. The cold went pretty quickly but left me with sinus issues and a persistent cough. I also had cold sores on my lips and in my nose, the virus retreated but the sores just won't heal.

Bacterial pneumonia with mbc?
On
Afinitor
and Exemestane. No energy. Feeling so helpless and a bit scared. Didnt know cancer patients are at high risk for pnuemonia. Heading to doctor tomorrow to see what they suggest next.

Side effects of Afinitor and Aromasin.
I am 2 weeks in and the side effects have started. I am getting mouth sores, my face is breaking out and will turn beet red and extremely dry. I bought cream at the center that I used during radiation. I have the most horrible taste in my mouth because of the mouthwash. The fatigue is a bit more too.

Afinitor and Aromasin
My meds arrive today. I am really nervous about starting them. So what time of day is best to take them, morning or evening? I don't want to be up all night if I have nausea and diarrhea. Any suggestions would be so helpful.

Afinitor 10mg and exemestane 25mg update
Thank you to everyone who responded to my previous post and gave me loads of really useful information. It real made me feel that the situation wasn't as hopeless as it felt. I've also had a break through of my own that I wanted to share with you just in case it works for someone else. I've done my first
