My oncologist has started me on Kisqali and Anastrozole and I’ve had lots of problems with low red and white cell counts. I’m tired all the time and winded. Just wanted to talk with others to see if they are having similar problems. Just wanting to know if I’ll ever feel halfway normal again.

Hi Beverly, you have found a support group, right here. This group is for those with various stages and different types of Breast cancer and there are many of us, me included with Stage 4 mets to the bones. ❤️

Wow Kimberly I am so sorry you have to travel so far for second opinion. I hope you have success and find additional treatment options. Recently I have discovered many things about my cancer that no one told me about. I did a deep dive into my pathology reports and the research surrounding my types of cancer, because I have more than one. As a result I have discovered other possible treatments and am working to find a second opinion resource myself. Please let me know how it goes. 🌹❤️

And then just think of all those involved in the field of cancer, their careers would be over. Can't have humans with degrees from prestigious colleges & Universities be without a job. Oncologists, Surgeons, Radiologists, Scan technicians, Scientists that invent cancer drugs . What would become of them?

To be honest Kimberly, I feel like a lab rat they are doing things to to see how long they can keep my human body alive and screw the quality of .
Cancer is a huge money making business, there will never be a cure. There will always be more treatments that help a little better than previous treatments but I don't see a cure. Too much money would be lost.

Kimberly that sure confirms why I will never do ibrance. My doctor whispers it at the end of every appointment like a passing thought. Well it is a passing thought right out of her mouth that dissipates in the air because I won't change my mind on this. Last appointment she upped it and said 'Anastrozole' isn't strong enough by itself' . Well I knew that since July that just doing Anastrozole wasn't enough for Stage 4 Breast cancer.
