Afinitor experiences?
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if there are others out there who are taking the new drug just released on the PBS, Afinitor? I have bone metastasis and had 4mths of chemo - Abraxane earlier this year.

Thanks for your reply Maxine. Yes I also have trouble sleeping sometimes & find myself awake at 3.am with a cup of tea & panadol. I was told I must take Aromasin with the Affinitor as the research/trials were done on this drug combination. Are you on both too? I had Aromasin last year but ceased after a few months as I couldn't tolerate the side effects. And I'm experiencing a lot of joint pain in my hips/legs which makes life difficult. Some good news though, is that my tumour marker has fallen after only being on these new drugs for one month.
I will trial them for another two months at least & report back to my Oncologist. Thanks again, stay well Maxine!
