Hi, I'm a stage 4 cancer breast cancer patient, It has spread to my lungs, lymph nodes, sternum and brain, the last 2 years I was taking palbociclib and letrozole, but unfortunately they have stopped working for me, I have now started capivasertib with a fulvestrant injection, so far I feel weak as a kitten, would like to know if anyone else is on this treatment, and if so how they are getting on please?
Hello Marleymoo
I'm very sorry to read your post and see your diagnosis.
I'm not in your situation, but as your post has dropped from page 1, I am answering now to 'bump' it back to the top of page 1 in the hope that there's someone around who can give you advice.
Kindest wishes, Lesley
Is anyone around now who can help Marleymoo ?
If no-one is in your situation, it may be worth while giving Macmillan a call and see if they can give you a bit of support. 0808 808 00 00 - either a nurse of a support advisor.
Kindest wishes, Lesley
Thank you, I am starting to get used to the new tablets now, although they make me feel sick, but I have an appointment on Friday at the clinic, so am going to ask if I can have a lower dose, hopefully I will be able to continue on them and not feel like a zombie. Thank you for replying to me . Regards Marleymoo
