Hi all. I've been having pain in my liver the last week or two. I know I have mets in my liver and have been put on letrazole and ribociclib to try and regain control. The thing is I'm getting more pain even though I have been on these drugs 3 months now. Any one else had the same effects and does this mean its not working?
Finding it difficult to concentrate on anything else at the moment, as the pain is sharp and then goes again and I find myself waiting for the next one so I'm prepared for it., bit it still makes me jump. It's like a stabby pain.
I hope the rest of you are all OK.
ownedbystaffies I'm sorry it didn't work for you. How are you doing on the erubulin?
Hi Lils, yes it is good to try whatever is out there until you find something that works for you. I'm the same!
Hi OBS I hope your next line chemo lasts a very long time for you but if not, they will find something else which will work it's magis for you, I'm sure! Any side effects so far on Erubulin?
Love Annette x
Well the capecitabine failed miserably, it just gave bad side effects and the worst being foot and hand syndrome. My hands and feet blistered and they hurt so bad, saw onc yesterday and he's changing treatment to paclitaxel iv. So I start that in 3 weeks. Let's hope this works.
