New Info on Taking Verzenio as Monotherapy

Yes, sharon35981...I have heard about terrible difficulty breathing with Verzenio - and all who experience this truly frightening side effect immediately stopped it.
And the diarrhea is severe. That's why my breast oncologist pushed Kisqali for me since I already have bad GI problems but said "it's you decision". Thank goodness my heart doctor took the decision out of my hands.
Hope you are doing well now...all the very best.

I’m doing well now. Four months of Verzenio was awful. When I told my doctor’s PA that I wasn’t going to take it anymore, she said, “Well, it’s not buying you that much anyway.” I could have done without the Verzenio. Five years on an AI. Lots of side effects and a much lower quality of life. I’m done with AIs now and have been off for two weeks. I’ve been getting Signatera blood tests every three months and all twelve tests have been negative. I have Signatera tests every three months. I don’t know how much my quality of life will improve. I have refused mammograms, ultrasounds, and breast MRIs. I’m just tired of it all. I’m 80. Many blessings to all.
