Verzenio didn't work for me
Hello, I was treated for my 2nd round of breast cancer from 2022-2023. I went on Verzenio/exemesthane regimen in May 2023. I was supposed to do two years on verzenio, however I was just diagnosed with MBC. I had a lymph node biopsy done because I had 3 swollen lymph nodes in the retroperitineal region show up on a PET scan. I also had some pleural effusion liquid removed. The pleural liquid came back clear but the lymph nodes didn't. Has anyone else had metastatic recurrence while on Verzenio? It was a punch to the gut for sure. My oncologist just did the Gardant test on me and we are waiting for results to see what type of targeted therapy I will start. Hoping I won't have to do chemo again as my hair is finally at my shoulders

Hi @mvspaulding,
We're so sorry to hear of your metastatic recurrence, but please know we're all here for you! If you'd like, come join us on one (or all!) of our weekly virtual meetups for metastatic disease for some wonderful support. Our next meetup is TODAY at 4pm ET, so we hope you can make it.

Others will be by soon to weigh in with their support, but we just wanted to send you hugs and let you know we've got you!
