Hello everyone, I am about to start taking ribociclib. I am wondering if anyone has started taking it and how they are coping? Thank you for your replies in advance
Hi Silan
I'm Daisy53 one of Community Champions on the online community. While I don't have the experience you are looking for I noticed that you haven't had any replies yet, so I thought I'd reply to you. I have noticed that you are a member of the breast cancer forum as well so I suggest that you put the question into that forum as it's a much busier from than this one.
Best wishes

Hello,
I am In the fifth cycle of ribo. Luckily, blood tests are all okay. I am doing okay but, I am fatigued and unmotivated, just want to lay down in the first week. I feel slightly better in the following weeks. Also, my body hair doesn’t regrow. Hopefully my hair will remain unaffected.
