Hi Margaret,
we are on the same meds, it is nice to know I am not alone! I have my first CT scan this week since treatment started, I am glad you have had success with this treatment, it gives me hope. I have had 3 rounds of kisqali and it still makes me lightheaded and queasy for a couple hours after I take it (which is after breakfast). I take the rest of my cocktail after dinner. Are you coping better now with your meds? You are 7 months ahead of me on this journey. The future seems a rocky road, I do wonder what the next treatment will be once my cancer mutates and when that will be. I really don't want chemo again but that is the backstop. Living in the moment is sometimes hard, I have a few projects and am trying hard to read novels again (but only good ones, time is too short).
I have found exercise does help I am going to aqua exercise class 2 times a week. When I am feel more positive that I am not going to die soon I will go back to yoga.
All the best keep me posted on your progress.
kind regards Kim
