Kisquali and Xgeva

Hi everyone, 
I’m starting Kisquali tablets and Xgeva injections next Tuesday. 
I’m already having Zoladex injections and take Aromasin 1 x day. 
I was wondering what side effects anyone has experienced with Xgeva and Kisquali?  
My oncologist told me that Kisquali could cause sore hands and feet, nausea and low blood counts. I’m to take it for 3 weeks and have a week off, and recommence the cycle again.( He told me it’s not chemo, but it sounds a lot like it to me.)
Would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks Deanna.

    Hi Kiahdee
    I thought I would write the response that I would have liked to have been able to read last year.  I am now on my 16th cycle of Kisqali with Letrozole and regular Xgeva and it is going great . I have found it not a bit like chemo - tablets in the morning and the occasional injection. When I first started taking this combo I was a little tired But after about the 4th cycle that too stopped being an issue. My hair has thinned a little so I have cut it short. I can exercise, work and travel. I feel very privileged to be able to be on this  drug combo so I hope you also have a good and strong response too. I am only having scans six monthly after my lesions in liver, lungs and bones shrunk after the first 6 cycles. I am getting on with living , Good luck 😉 cheers Ali
