Has anyone had experience with Kisqali? I'm curious about the side effects and how it's affected your life.

Kisqali has been a game-changer for me. My tumor markers have been decreasing steadily, and I've had no major side effects so far. I know everyone is different, but I wanted to share some hope. Fingers crossed for all of you!

I had a severe allergic reaction to Kisqali after just a few weeks. It was scary. I ended up in the hospital with hives all over my body and trouble breathing. If you experience any of those symptoms, don't wait, go to the ER immediately. It's better to be safe.

I've heard some people have issues with Kisqali and blood clots. Anyone else experience this? I've been wanting to know more about it, but I can't find anyone who talks about it. My doctor never mentioned it either.

I've been on Kisqali for about 6 months now. The worst part for me was the nausea, but my doctor gave me some anti-nausea medication that helps a lot. I also found that eating smaller, more frequent meals helped. But honestly, the hair loss was the hardest to deal with. I wish I had known how much it would affect my mental state. Besides that, I'm managing alright. Stay strong!

My advice for anyone starting Kisqali is to stay in close contact with your doctor. If you experience any side effects, even if they seem minor, let your doctor know immediately. I had some back pain that I thought was just from stress, but it turned out to be a UTI. Don't tough it out – communicate with your medical team. You're all warriors!

I'm on my fourth month of Kisqali and it's been a rollercoaster. The fatigue and hair loss were expected, but the mouth sores caught me off guard. I have a few tips for managing them: I've found using a soft toothbrush and a mouth rinse with saltwater and baking soda helps a lot. I also tell everyone to always carry lip balm! Stay hydrated and, if you can, try to eat softer foods. It really helps to avoid scratching them. Have you looked into any clinical trials?

I've been on Kisqali for a while and I’ve found that the fatigue is the hardest part. I literally sit on the couch and can't move. But honestly, I'd rather feel like this than deal with the alternative. I hope everyone here is doing okay.

I'm so sorry everyone is going through this, but I'm glad to have found this thread. I've already ordered a saltwater and baking soda mixture after the advice above. I'm on my second week of Kisqali, and I've already noticed some mouth irritation. Here's hoping it gets better. Fingers crossed!

I've been on Kisqali for about 3 months now, and I've had some pretty bad constipation. Anyone else deal with this?

I've been on Kisqali for a year now and have had to deal with some of the more serious side effects. I've had several UTIs, and my doctor says it's because of the medication. If you start to feel any burning or pain while urinating, get checked out immediately. It's not fun, but it's manageable. My oncologist also helped me keep an eye on my liver function regularly. I'm managing okay, and this isn't about me. I'm here for you!
