Hello
I have 3 more Paclitaxel sessions left, then will be having radiotherapy. I have met with my consultant today who has suggested that aswell as hormone therapy for 5 years, due to my breast cancer being a 3cm grade 3 lump, I would benefit from taking Ribociclib for 3 years. The side effects appear to be similar to those of Paclitaxel, I know that not everyone get all of them but would love to get anyone's experiences please. I'm trying to see if the benefits outweigh the possible side effects.
Thanks
Hi DebH I see it’s your first post so a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community.
I know from experience having been on my cancer journey for over 26 years with two very rare, hard to treat types of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphomas (one incurable), Asbestosis and Prostate Cancer that navigating this journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but talking with and getting support from people who have walked or are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend that you look to join and put up your own post in our dedicated…….
…….. support group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
