Hi,
I used Everolimus for 4 weeks. I started getting mouth sores after about 3 weeks. Seems like a common side effect. My onocologist almost expected it and he said he could give me something for it. Ofcourse everyone is different. some people may have no side effects. Drs
wanted me to stop taking Everolimus when I began PRRT. The cold soars went away after I stoped taking it. It didn't make me feel nauseous, fatigued, or give me secretory bowel movements. Although I have no factual measure of its effectiveness, since I only took it for
a short time. I felt it was helping with symptoms, and I would continue taking it, if necessary.
I guess you just have to try it and see what works. They could take a biopsy of your tumor
and examine it to see what might work best for you.
Good Luck
Afinitor is the common name for Everolimus it easier to pronounce and spell.
Taking Everolimus (10mg) wasn't a big deal but I would opt next time for some cold sore meds.
