New Treatment Approved for Certain Advanced Breast Cancers

I have that

🌬️🤍 @ Rebecca Z

This is what I have. I'll start taking Capivaserib (Truqap) very soon.

I don't get this. This was out by the moderate was posted Nov 17 2023 and there is only 4 posts? What an I missing? I mean I see other responses in this site that are more responsive. Also I'm on some other quasi support on line sites and they seem more responsive. I dunno. I like this site for the support part but the integrative communication seems a bit off to me. 🤷

Since truqap was just approved, is unlikely that many patients have completed a full treatment cycle (4 mos) of it yet .. maybe that would explain the lack of a more thorough discussion re this medication /protocol? 🤷🏼‍♀️

That could very well be, Melanie. I feel a little like a guinea pig 🥴, So far, things are going pretty well. I have diarrhea, but I've had worse with food poisoning. I don't have a rash. My mouth is extremely dry and food tastes like wall paper paste. One day at a time.

I haven’t experienced any side effects from Zometa. Yay!

This new FDA approval represents an important advancement for patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who have specific genetic alterations, as it provides another targeted treatment option when the cancer has progressed. Having additional therapies available can offer hope and potentially better outcomes for those who qualify based on their tumor's specific characteristics.
