I am on Ibrance and had an allergic reaction. My Onc says if I want to go on something stronger with more impact I should consider Kisquali. I am wondering if anyone has experience with both or either? Seems Kisquali has a longer span of time it works, but maybe greater side effects? He said once I switch I can not go back on Ibrance. Any help is appreciated

    Hi ddil

    I am on day 6 of kisqali. First 2 days were rough with nausea & vomiting but then everything calmed down besides extreme fatigue. I have not been on Ibrance so cannot comment on that. I know it is still early days but so far its very tolerable

    I have been on Ibrance for 2+ years and it has worked well for me. No cancer spread and I've not had any real side effects. I realize how lucky I have been. Can't speak to any other drug.
