Please repeat after me……You are not a failure, the treatment was a failure.
This actually sounds like a horrible reaction! I could not have persevered through that either, and I consider myself to be pretty tough.
Did your doctor consider another type of treatment for you?

Thank you so much for you kind words. They really mean a lot! I was offered no other option than to try 5 mg everyday. For every side effect my oncologist had another medication like hydrocortisone for itching, or a prescription for what was the start of a UTI, but these side effects could be ongoing and I’m just not sure I want to do deal with this. It’s so overwhelming! I see her in August and will discuss further. Thanks again☺️
