Something new in the treatment arsenal?

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!

Hi @vicsmit
Wow, again so sorry to hear about your eyesight. I'm glad you've been tolerating the Truqap and pray for encouraging results on your PET scan. I'm also taking a med (for lung NETs) that causes diabetes and have found the Libre sensors to be invaluable in determining what spikes blood sugar. Thanks for responding to my questions.
