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.

Next ... Xeloda success stories?
I’ve been lucky on both Ibrance and
Afinitor
- side effects were manageable. But the darn pharmacist freaked me out a bit with the hand and foot issues - no flip flops? I live in California and we live in flip flops!! No steam, sauna or hot showers?

verzenio or aromatase inhibitors
If we don't get the financing, we will try for ibrance or I think the next line is
afinitor
. I have never had chemo or radiation. That will come at the end if I choose that course.

Afinitor & Flaslodex side effects
Hi all - i was on Ibrance / letrozal and had a good experience (no real side effects) for 6 months - had a slight increase in a couple of liver spots (very small) and plural effusion in lung... so I was moved on to
Afinitor
/ Flas... after 1 month my liver tumors are 1/2 in size and 2 gone.

But...
Afinitor
and Exastamene did not work. And the one sentence I recall from the fellow was “you’re going through these options quicker than we expected”. I didn’t even get 3 months from
afinitor
. But the good news is that the spread in my bones seems contained. I guess xgeva is helping it.

Under Reporting on Side Effects
A friend of mine died when neither her oncologist or pulmonologist realized a connection between the "acute pulmonary collapse' that put her in ICU and the
Afinitor
that had recently become FDA approved and that she had been on for a few weeks.

Afinitor and faslodex
Has anyone been on
Afinitor
and Fulvestrant/Faslodex I’m going to be starting in a couple weeks and I’m just wondering what the side effects are and how long it had been successful. Prior to this I have been on Ibrance and letrozole for almost 2 years and it just stopped working.
