What side effects did you have for how long with Verzenio.?

@snowonn1 in response to your question about my cancer.

2013: Stage 1 BC, BRCA2+, double mastectomy, Ki-67 17% (moderately aggressive) ER+ PR+ HER2-. Told 3% chance of recurrence.

2020: BC appeared in chest wall/pectoral muscle. Ki-67 50% this time which means 50% of the cells in the tumor are dividing. I was told it's stage IV. I was told due to its highly aggressive nature this time, cancer cells likely traveled by the time it was discovered. He said if we did nothing the cancer would be everywhere in a matter of months. Had surgery (positive margin left behind), 37 radiation treatments, not a candidate for chemo due to BC personality and pre-existing neuropathy, now on Kisqali and Letrozole for 2.5 years so far.

I had a neighbor (she moved) with stage IV breast cancer who was taking Ibrance. A friend of a friend with stage IV breast cancer took Verzenio and did have bad diarrhea from it. So, I'm not sure why one CDK 4/6 inhibitor is selected over the others.

Hi @snowonn1 ,
I have MBC with mets to bones and I'm on Verzenio. I had diarrhea for about 2 months but then it went away. I take my morning pill about 2 hrs before breakfast, and evening pill about an hour before dinner. I space it w/ other meds that I'm taking as well. I hope your body adjusts and the diarrhea stops for you soon.
