@dmr4ever Thank you very much for your insight, awareness, education and posting on Verzenio. It will give those of us pondering this drug lots to digest and think about.
Glad you disclosed in your case the drug would reduce your potential recurrence rate by about 2%.
Obviously you made the best decision for yourself. And reinforced to all of us the importance of asking our breast oncologists that exact question when they present/push/encourage us to use this drug:
"What is my reduced recurrence percentage rate if I use this drug?"
All the very best to you.

@briarrose I took Verzenio for four months. The side effect that made me stop was that I would wake up, feeling like I was drowning, and I had trouble breathing. That was enough for me. I was done. I also had diarrhea for four months.
