Kisqali & Letrozole - thankful & fearful...
Hi, I was diagnosed 7 months ago with metastatic breast cancer and am very thankful for Kisqali and Letrozole (which is working!) having been clear for many years after an original diagnosis of lobula...

Hello there,
I too am on both Letrozole and Kisqali. Well, I was until very recently. Have had 5 months of Kisqali, but my most recent full blood tests showed crazy Liver function tests. Had to have a liver ultrasound to ensure nothing scary or sinister, and will be off these until the levels come down to normal. There were a whole bunch of weird symptoms that I kind of ignored, but now make sense. I was taking my Kisqali before bed, and usually during the 2nd week I would get really bad headaches.
Will have to wait and see what happens next - have med onc again this week to see if my levels have started to return to normal and we'll go from there.
These side effects were on the EviQ information sheet for this medication, but because they were listed as weeks to months, I kind of ignored them.
Hope you're both feeling OK (as can be) on these meds.
take care
