Side Effects of Kisqali for Metastatic Breast Cancer?

I had diarrhea, my doc reduced the dose. I'm much better.

I have been on Kisquali since March and haven’t had many side effects

I too have been on Kisqali for 6 weeks. My WBC was too low and now my liver function is too high. I am now on 40 0 mg and I have no side effects at all. I have a terrible cold now and had to stop kisqali today starting my 3rd week. I have MBC spread to lung and lymph nodes.

Main side effects are hair thinning, skin more easily broken and longer to heal, and fragile nails. I keep nausea in check by eating a protein (30 gr) focussed breakfast. I believe strength training would help with the extra fatigue.

Now, I've stopped Kisqali early because of inflammation in my lungs. I see my oncologist Wednesday we'll discuss what to do next. I'll get a PET scan in 2 months. Right now wait and see... anxiety producer.

Many people in this community have experience with Kisqali and can share their insights about how it has affected them. Side effects can vary quite a bit from person to person, so hearing from others who have taken this medication alongside hormone therapy might help you know what to expect and how to manage any challenges that come up.
