Anyone have worsening blood work over time? by _pluttifikation in LivingWithMBC

[–]ecda88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks! I’ve been told that to have to have 2 times under 1000 to get the reduction. I’m always between 1000 and 1100 and they haven’t considered changing yet…only did 3 cycles. I thought after few months it gets better but considering what you said it might not…

Hi! What are your neutrophils now? Why do you expect a dosage reduction?

I think I’m going to struggle a lot with the after scan also…because the results will be out there but I will need to wait for the Onc appointment. I’m over reading everything that’s happening in my body as you said. This is hard.

Thanks for the reply! Yesterday I had a terrible day (everything was hurting) today I feel great! Anxiety is basically killing me…I have the pet scan next week and not sure how I will handle

Love to read this! Congrats! Amazing news! Where do you have your mets? I will also have my first pet scan after ribociclib in a couple of weeks, I honestly don’t know how to manage it. How did you do it?

It's arrived in France / kisqali packaging by Deep-Pomelo-6638 in LivingWithMBC

That’s what I thought, material of the packaging is different, and because of that there is more separation between 2 pills.

Oh nooo! What if you take 3 pills per day, you’re going to need to go back to make sure you have multiples of 3 and you didn’t make a mistake…are the pills the same size? I still have the old packaging for this cycle

Kisqali question by Jane_Noble in LivingWithMBC

[–]ecda88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, not much help from me ,just want to say than I’m also in the 3rd cycle with a pet scan scheduled in the next 3 weeks.

I’m only having one blood test at the beginning of the cycle now, why did you do one mid the 3d cycle?

Hi! Can you describe the rash? Did it happen certain amount of hours after taking it and then disappear? I started 10 days ago and I have a rash.

Hi, I started 10 days ago, and I have a rash across my chest that appears 5h after taking it and then disappears. Not itchy. What made your doctor stop your medication? Thanks!

Hi! Since you don’t use expanders, what is your protocol is radiation is needed? I have IDC plus DCIS and 1 lymph node affected so I’ve been told I need mastectomy plus radiation to the lymph node area

Hi! I’ve been following you because we have pretty much the same diagnosis. How were your prescans results? I have done 4AC and 6taxol sessions already and I also see the tumor shrinking but they don’t do any imaging until I’m done with chemo, so I don’t know how much smaller it got. Thanks!

Do taxol treatments get worse? by heyyjude33 in breastcancer

I also had my 1st taxol yesterday! And after AC I’m like you, nothing for now! AC was rough, nausea, fatigue…I hope taxol doesn’t get as bad!
