Afinitor 10mg and exemestane 25mg
I've just done my first 4 weeks on this drug combination after 18 cycles of ibrance 125mg and faslodex. Not to pull punches it's been quite an awful month. I've felt really ill, all the pain is back in my hips and back, mouth ulcers made worse by a dental infection, headaches, upset tummy, nausea and

I saw my oncologist today
I’ve just finished the second month on the new drugs (
afinitor
and exemestane) and I had an appointment with my oncologist today. It has been a hard couple of months though improving. I saw his registrar 4 weeks ago and he’d told me that I was doing really well with tolerating the side effects.

Afinitor broke me
Hoping that this will all correct itself once the
afinitor
is out of my system, could take 2 weeks. Lisa

Afinitor & Exemestance now what?
That is why I was switched to the
Afinitor
& Exemestance. But with these markers I am worried. If she decides to switch my meds I do not know what would be next. Lisa

Next steps continued
The up shot is that because of those questions he reviewed his treatment plan and has agreed to give me a 3 month trial of
afinitor
and aromisin. If after 3 months the ct scan shows progression then he will consider xeloda or taxol as the next step. But at least I will know we tried.

My cancer markers have jumped from 104 to 483 after two weeks on afinitor. My doctor now wants to put me on Doxil. Any one else had this?
Went on
Afinitor
. Did not work, in fact my cancer markers went from 104 to 483. Now, my oncologist wants to put me on Doxil, provided that I pass an echo ultrasound of my heart. Has anyone else used Doxil successfully? I hear that it is called "the red devil." This doesn't ease my anxiety.

Afinitor and blood sugar
Today is day 9 on
Afinitor
and Aromasin. I had previously been on Ibrance and it stopped working. Other than a few mouth sores, nausea, and some serious fatigue, the
Afinitor
seemed to be working.

Afinitor : very tough side effects. Any1 else on this oral drug?
Sure hope the
Afinitor
is doing it's job on the adrenals. Then it would be worth it. Anyone out there on the
Afinitor
/Exastimine regiment? Would like to hear from you. My oncologist only says that he is surprised I have no mouth sores. My side effects don't seem to interest him.

Everolimus - Afinitor dosage
I have a quick question for anyone on
Afinitor
( everolimus)... I started 10 days ago after Ibrance stopped working. I have noticed that whilst I have been given a 5mg dose the recommended dose is 10mg... Did anyone else start on 5mg? Many thanks.

Afinitor and diabetes and other questions.
She wants to move me to
afinitor
and aromasin. I am diabetic and worry that the
afinitor
will mess with my blood sugar. Anyone have any experience with this? Also, as always, I am terrified of the cost. I am lucky, have good insurance, but meds are so costly! My Ibrance was free.

change in meds to afinitor & exemestance
They met before I was seen today, and decided to switch me to
Afinitor
5mg and Exemestance 25 mg. My new Onc says that depending on how I do on the
Afinitor
5mg, the dose might be increased to 10mg in the future. She will also give me a mouthwash to help avoid mouth sores.

Good news or meds stopped working?
I was then put on
afinitor
and exemestane. Long story short, I got really sick with a major liver abscess while on
afinitor
and went off of it in January. I went on daily meds to fight this infection and stopped those at the end of February.
