I love your upbeat attitude and doing “ what it takes” to regain your health.

I appreciate all the information and warnings that you shared. Thank you.

I’ve been on AROMATASE for one year… I have the added joint stiffness and discomfort until I get moving; yoga really helps and walking/hiking. I’m a huge outdoor enthusiast including skiing ⛷ at 72. I definitely had some initial hair thinning … which also could have been from my two surgeries; hair follicles don’t like anesthesia. Now it’s normal. My one year DEXA showed basically no change so that was good but we will keep monitoring bone density. I have good density now. I feel like the AI keeps me safe as I was 98-99% ER + so I’ll take whatever the side effects over BC!

I was under the impression that Kisquali caused diarrhea vs constipation. But everyone has their own unique response to meds.

So happy that you are tolerating a med that has been so helpful to you! Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. 🌸

I'm impressed that you are still skiing at 72! I do go walking every day.

Yes, Kisqali can cause diarrhea or constipation. Luckily, not the former for me. I've heard Verzenio causes really bad diarrhea so I plan to avoid that. That's a quality of life issue. It's a similar drug to Kisqali and Ibrance.
