I’ve been doing well for the last 12 months on Kisqali but now we can’t get my ANC to stay in range and there is talk of reducing my dose. My team says they think it will be just as effective but I’m nervous! Has anyone reduced their Kisqali dose down from 600?

Many people in this community have experience with dose adjustments, and it's completely natural to feel nervous about any changes to a treatment that's been working well. Your medical team's confidence that the reduced dose will maintain effectiveness is encouraging, and they're making this recommendation based on keeping you safe while continuing your treatment. Others here may share their experiences with dose modifications, which could help ease some of your concerns about this adjustment.

I have not been on Kisquali , but the point of any chemo med is to eliminate or control cancer without doing you in!! So if your blood work is out of range and they can't get it stabilized, a dose reduction is a reasonable next step for you. They'll keep a close eye on how well your cancer is managed and how well your blood counts do. If both those things are ok, you can go with the lower dose. Hope it works for you!! Hugs and prayers!!

I was 1st started on 125 Ibrance & after being in it for almost 2 months, it caused my liver enzymes to be too high & I got so fall off the earth, dizzy. I had to stop taking it for a few weeks. Had my next labs done & my enzymes were back to normal level. I was then started on 100mg & have been on it for over a year. Does Kisquali offer lower doses?
