a month agoI am taking verzenio and recently had to stop anastrazole due to increasing cancer markers CA 2729. They put me on faslodex after stopping the anastrozole. My diarrhea has worsened. My appetite has decreased and I'm tired all the time. I am going to speak to my doctor at my upcoming appointment on August 5th about other alternatives. She did some lab work for mutations and I have an ESR 1 mutation. Hopefully we can find the best treatment options that don't take away quality of life for me as my new treatment therapy seems to be doing

a month agoDiarrhea can indeed worsen when starting new cancer treatments, as both medications can affect the digestive system differently than previous therapies. It sounds like you're being proactive by discussing these quality-of-life concerns with your oncologist, especially with the mutation results that may help guide better treatment options that work more effectively for your specific situation.

18 days agoI have the same diagnosis and diarrhea was a severe problem. I took Imodium up to eight times a day with a meal the is the BRAT diet, it really helped and drink a lot of water with electrolytes. I and on Enhertu and went off Perjeta which was causing the diarrhea. I also took cramping medication which was a game changer.

12 days agoI was on Verzenio and my body couldn’t handle it… so the changed it to Kisqali … I was on 600 mg a day a little too harsh now in 400mg a day and my tumor marker with that and shots once a month has taken my tumor marker down to 1/2 of what it was… I’m still tired and hurt but I’m alive and love Kisqali
