thinking of switching from Ibrance to Kisqali (Ribociclib). Any thoughts for those with lobular?
My Onc originally gave me the choice between Ibrance and
Kisqali
. At the time we were told that they believed the overall survival rates on Ibrance would be similar to
Kisqali
but that the study was not complete yet.

Xeloda and Swimming
I just saw my onco today and unfortunately recent PETScan just confirmed my present treatment
kisqali
and fulvestrant isn’t working anymore. I was on
kisqali
and letrozole for over 4 yrs and changed letrozole to fulvestrant 3 months ago but unfortunately after 3 months I have further progression.

A bit of good news
. 😂 It seems the
Kisqali
and letrozole are doing their job although the letrozole is kicking my butt with the aches and pains. The replacement for prednisone, deflazacort is not doing a good job, I lost 15lbs though for being off prednisone. But all in all some good news.

Nervous about Fulvestrant and Piqray treatment
Is Piqray a harsher drug than
Kisqali
? I am really nervous about this new treatment. And I fear if this combo doesn't work then I have limited options down the line. I would be extremely grateful if you could share with me any insights, advice and suggestions!

Weight Gain
I am on
Kisqali
and Letrozole. As most have noted before me, Letrozole comes with aches and pains and mine sometimes are debilitating so my oncologist prescribes prednisone and I have gained a lot of weight.

How often should I do PET scan?
I have been taking tamoxifen and
kisqali
since 02/2022. I did a baseline PET scan in March this year. My oncologist wants me to do a PET scan every 3 months. Is that really necessary? Do you have any insights as to how often should a PET scan be done to monitor progress/remission?

WBC count
Does ibrance affect your white blood cell count in the same way that
kisqali
does?
Kisqali
(ribociclib) depletes your neutrophils and therefore impacts your immune system.

Kisqali skin rash
For those of you who got a rash on
kisqali
and letrozole, how long did it take to go? And what meds / creams did you use? I’m struggling with full body itchy hot rash.

Kisqali and skin rash
Anyone get hot itchy skin and rash from
Kisqali
? I’m on cycle 3. 400mg. Been itchy for a few days. Now quite a lot of rash. Does it calm down as the body adjusts?

Lack of Energy
I am on Letrazole and
Kisqali
since late February so this is my 3rd cycle. When does the fatigue and lack of energy go away? Also my feet (underneath) are sensitive. Any advice on ways to combat these side effects.

Ibrance and neuropathy? Please help.
I only managed 3 months on my first treatment (
Kisqali
) before my liver became over sensitive to it, and I really want to have a good stretch on Ibrance …as I feel very good apart from this tingly thing. I don’t know if it is neuropathy…but symptoms seem to fit.

Good news from my first post treatment scan.
I’ve only managed around 3 months on
Kisqali
before having to break all meds for over a month to try to allow my liver enzyme to normalise….and my secondary replacement (Ibrance) was then also interrupted when I had covid…and I’ve only completed two cycles of it now.

Hello from a new member, just starting Ibrance
I was previously taking an alternative targeted therapy medication (
Kisqali
), but that made my liver enzymes rise to 10x above normal. Having brought them back down my oncologist thinks I might be ok with Ibrance. I was wondering if anybody has experienced liver issues with Ibrance?
