Hi @vicsmit
Just reading your post here. I'm so sorry about what happened to you with Kisqali! That's awful! I've been on Kisqali for 3+ years now. Do you happen to remember what dose you were on during the trial? What were the first issues you noticed with your eyes?

How is Truqap working for you? Are you finding the side effects tolerable?

Prayers for you for all of this. Zebra

Hi Zebra. I took Kisqali in 2019 and don't remember the dosage. The first indication of eye infection was feeling of having an eyelash in my eye, then progressed to sensitivity to light. The second eye infection I knew right away but I was in a small mountain town with no care nearby. My eye teared up so badly it was running through my nostril, lol. I have been on Truqap since mid January and am feeling well although this drug has a tendancy to cause diabetes. So I have been buying the Libre 3 constant glucose monitor and I do have elevated levels when taking the pills (800 mg daily for 4 days then off for 3 days). I have a pet scan scheduled later this month, hoping for good results!
