@norah2024 I’m glad you saw another oncologist for a second opinion. I feel that you will be ok to take the 10 mg every other day, rather than breaking it in half. My Verzenio is delivered in boxes of set amount of tablets and the instructions are very specific that the pill should never be split in half under any circumstances.. Your new Oncologist’s suggestion of every other day should be fine because these medications stay in your bloodstream at levels which fight the cancer and he’s watching your blood liver enzymes while you are on the every other day dose. I have had times when my own oncologist had me on a week off due to illness once and when taking antibiotics for a tooth abcess.. These temporary breaks due to special circumstances at the oncologist directions are normal sometimes and don’t seem to interfere with their efficacy and effectiveness against cancer..Take a deep breath and say a little prayer from your heart and trust that all will be well and your second oncologist will know how to treat these new issues by watching your bloodwork. Relax this evening and get some rest, girl.🩵🌷

Thank you for this information.
After reading several responses, I have actually become convinced that splitting the pill is not a good idea.
I also feel very comfortable with my new doctor. He is very kind and even gave me his personal number in case I need anything urgent.
Stopping the medication has been a big relief for me, because it caused many side effects. So when I stopped it, I felt that I really needed some time to rest, and this is exactly what my new doctor advised.
Right now, the only thing bothering me is the unexplained fever that keeps happening, even though I am taking another course of antibiotics.
Thank you for your kind feelings—they truly reached me and comforted my heart 🧡
I will take a deep breath and say some of my prayers, where I always find peace whenever things become difficult.
Thank you for your kindness and for taking the time to reassure me. Your words truly mean a lot to me.🧡
