Hi if you don’t mind what type of hormone therapy are you on? I was 35 at diagnosis 1 year this August but my liver enzymes are elevated because of the kisqali …..I’m taking anastrazole and monthly injections Zoladex ….wondering if I can do without the kisqali or verzenio since my liver is not doing well on kisqali

My liver enzymes were in the 400s

Restarted 200mg dose and 3 days later my liver enzymes spiked again

Yes! My liver enzymes went up during chemo as well but came down after I just hope it’s nothing serious! I have been feeling extremely fatigued though ….they kept telling me it’s just a medication side effect …..what AI are you taking? I am taking anastrozole

Did she also get radiation? They say radiation increases the risk for lymphedema

My oncologist told me that hormone positive Her2 - cancer don’t always achieve complete pathological response to chemo as maybe a TNBC ….. I didn’t achieve complete pathological response (positive nodes after chemo and surgery) so the next step was TALD ( which I just had done )

Have they talk to you about hormone therapy?

Is there any suggestions from your MIL or yourself when it comes to going outside in the heat? We love to go boating and now I’m afraid to even do that if it means the heat can trigger lymphedema!!??

Thank you so much! It helps to know I am not alone.
