I am currently on Ibrance but not tolerating the lowest dose---my white count is still too low.  My MO and I are considering trying another CDK 4/6 inhibitor.  Has anyone had any experiences with either of these drugs.  Please post experiences, side effects, or studies to show efficacy of these drugs.  Thanks.

    Hi candy --

    We're sure others will be by shortly to post their experiences with these drugs, but we wanted to share with you these pages from the main Breastcancer.org site on Kisqali and Verzenio, which talk about how they work, who it's for and common side effects.

    We hope this helps!

    I just finished my first round of Kisqali and my WBCs dropped to 2.8 which according to my MO is actually great considering some ladies dip all the way to 1. Keep in mind I was taking only 2/3 of the recommended dose, 400 mg instead of 600 mg. My onc wants to start me on the 600 mg for my next round. Other than the WBC drop I have no side effects, sometimes a bit of overall bone pain that goes away when I start moving around.
