Hi Ruby
I wasn't prescribed ribociclib but did have 3 years of Zometa, which is a bisphosphonate, after my lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I didn't have any side effects while on Zometa.
You might like to also post this in the breast cancer group, which I can see you've joined, as you'll then connect directly with others who have had these treatments.
