Everolimus and Exemestane

Lyndal13

I am new to posting....just after some information on the drugs Everolimus and Exemestane . I am starting both of these tomorrow. Just wondering if any of you ladies have had good results with these. I have mets to the bones and liver. Had paclitaxel and then was on letrozole for 4 months. Liver tumor has increased slightly in size. Tumor markers are 7.7 . Have found this forum very comforting 😀 thankyou

You may find the main Breastcancer.org site helpful too, especially the sections on Afinitor (chemical name: everolimus) and Aromasin (chemical name: exemestan), and the following article: Afinitor Added to Aromasin Slows Advanced-Stage Breast Cancer Growth

Let us know how you're doing. Hope treatment is kind to you and works well to reduce the mets soon.

Hi Lyndal,

Hi Lyndal13

I have been on this combo since Oct 2015. My recent CT scan and hip mri show I am stable. This combo has not been difficult for me. I did get steriod mouth rinse that I used twice a day for the first month so I was able to avoid mouth sores. I use it occassionally if I burn my mouth on pizza so mouth sores won't take hold. My other big SE was sky high cholesterol. This came down with addition to lipitor.

I hope this combo works well for you. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Peace

Hey Lyndal!

So glad you posted this. I am starting this in the next few weeks too. I have to start with Lupron first though to get me into menopause. I am going to try looking at the other boards too.

Hi Mary and Renee

Have been taking this combination for just over 2 weeks now. Have had some mouth ulcers but nothing i can't handle ☺ have been using bicarb mouth wash which works ok...have a script for a steroid mouthwash but haven't got it yet. I have type 2 diabetes as well and my sugar is up slightly. Thanks for your responses ☺ i am interested in following your journeys on these medications.
