Hello ladies, My name is Amber and I am a survivor now of just being told was “Cancer Free” I journaled about it! It’s a mixed feeling I would have to say! Does anyone know how long you have to do Lupron shots for and anastrozole? I am currently in that part of treatment and done with the other cancer treatments? Has anyone heard of the drug Verzenio it’s a K9 inhibitor not a chemotherapy drug? My oncologist recommended take that, but declined it after getting major side effects from radiation. Still dealing with all the side effects! Has anyone been taking the drug Verzenio along with AI inhibitors?

Congratulations on being declared cancer free - that's wonderful news! Treatment duration for hormone therapies varies greatly depending on individual factors like cancer stage and type, so discussing timeline expectations with your oncology team would be most helpful. Many community members have experience with these medications and their side effects, so hopefully others will share their experiences to help you feel less alone in navigating these treatment decisions.
