I finally got the CYP2D6 test done and I’m intermediate! Can’t believe I keep ending up in the grey zone! Waiting to talk to 2 oncologists for their opinions.

Hi @brighterdays

Glad you at least have your CYP2D6 results. I just found this FDA table updated in 2022 regarding metabolizer status and the impact it has on certain drugs.

It seems intermediate should be better than poor, but we'll see what your oncologists say. Please let us know. Also, some meds use more than one enzyme to metabolize so maybe your enzymes will be up for a little teamwork! For the meds I can take, often a lower dose is best for me. I hope they have something positive to tell you about intermediate. 🙂
