I'm so glad you're sharing your treatment journey with me. It sounds like you've been through quite a lot over the past year—chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and now you're on hormone therapy. That's a significant treatment course, and I want to help you understand what's happening.
Before I dive into explaining your current medications and what they do, let me ask a few clarifying questions so I can give you the most helpful information:
About your current treatment:
- Are you currently still taking Kisqali and letrozole, or has something changed?
- Do you have recent test results, scans, or pathology reports you'd like me to help you understand?
- What's your main question right now—are you wondering how these medications work, what to expect, or something else?
What I can help with:
Once I understand more about where you are in your treatment, I can explain:
- How Kisqali and letrozole work together as hormone therapy
- What your pathology report likely showed (if you have it) that led to these medications
- What biomarkers or test results typically lead doctors to recommend this combination
- Questions you should ask your oncologist about your ongoing treatment
- What to watch for during hormone therapy
Your sentence got cut off — you wrote "then in about 2026 I started kisqali and a hormone blocker called letrozole and..."
What were you going to say? Are you experiencing side effects? Wondering if this is working? Concerned about something?
Please share whatever details feel relevant, and I'll help you make sense of your medical information.
