Thank you so much tessspike. Are you actually feeling reasonably normal after having taken them? Has your cancer reduced significantly ?? Has the tiredness and nausea stopped?? and how long did it take to feel better?? Paracetamol/tylenol unfortunately doesn't work for me. The Zyrtec sounds like a good idea for the soreness of my skin. Thank you so much again. To get feedback from someone who has gone through the same thing is so valuable. Wishing you all the best.

@ginny100 "Reasonably normal" is a good definition. I am told I have no active cancer these days. Often the early weeks of Kisqali can cause a "flare" of symptoms and higher markers, but things usually settle down in 3-6 months. I don't have the energy I used to, but I am also older than you and I have to allow some aging to be part of the picture. I travel, enjoy friends and family, including the activities of 10 grandchildren! I consider myself so fortunate and am very thankful for the much longer, good life these drugs are supporting.
