How are you feeling on Kisqali? Any side effects?

Taking it for 2 years. Get tired some days. Hair thinning. Luckily no other side effects.

Taking Kisqali 1.5 years... 600mg — tired, hair thinning, thin skin & nails — have just finished a month OFF to give my body a reset and will resume with 400mg (3 weeks on, 1 week off) in addition to Letrozole. I believe it is the Natalee study that showed 400mg is as effective as 600mg but with fewer side effects (and so also greater compliance) — for stage 2 and 3, but in talking with my ONCO she said it holds true for stage 4 as well… only time will tell, but already I can see new hair growth (wispy and fine, so looks like breakage at first sight, but googled the heck out of it and am convinced it’s what new hair growth looks like). My best advice — works for me — is to focus on a 30gr protein breakfast — otherwise I suffer a nausea best described as watery mouth and churning stomach. Curious when I start the 400g Kisqali tomorrow if I have a little more leeway, but that said, a protein-positive start to the day works in general… the Kisqali made me do it!!!

Jenny S, this is what I was hoping to read. Thank you for your input and experiences. Please let me know how it goes on the new dose.

Glad to read this Holly P. I maybe going on Kisqali in a few months. I just had mastectomy and will see next week to see if I will need radiation. I have been on Letrozole and Ibrance for 1.5 yrs.

I agree with Karen and tired some days have thinning but overall it’s great. It helps you feel some normalcy put you back to yourself at times make you feel like he can do this.

I take oral minoxidil to help hair growth.
