Something new in the treatment arsenal?

Hello, I am in Montreal and I am in Phase 3 of the trial you are talking about.
The trial is called Tropion 01 for HR+ HER2 - (or low). I started Nov 1, 2022.
To qualify you have to be stage 4 and have already tried a few other lines of treatment. I had been on Kisqali, Afinitor, and Xeloda prior to this trial.
When I started the trial, I had a tumour in my left breast, several lymph nodes under my left arm were impacted, and I had Mets in my hips, my lower spine, my sixth rib, one of my vertebrae‘s and my sternum. Currently the only cancer that can be seen on The CT scan is in three of my lymph nodes, which is significantly smaller.
I imagine we will be hearing more talk about this at the San Antonio symposiu

Hi @leeann66
Have you had anymore CT scans since this September update? Cancer in the lymph nodes gone? Still feeling okay? Thanks for any update.

Hi @leeann66 That's great that you're in the Phase 3 trial and experiencing such good results! Sorry to hear you had all those qualifications, but I'd love to hear more about your experience on Tropion as well. What are the side-effects and how does your quality of life compare to when you were on each of the other meds?
I've been on Kisqali for 2 yrs 8 mo. Can you tell me how long Kisqali was effective for you? What about Afinitor and Xeloda? How long were those effective? Could you tell the meds were no longer working or was the determination solely based on scan results? Thanks for any info.
