Hello

I was diagnosed with grade 2, ER positive breast cancer last year and had a radical mastectomy and axillary lymph nodes removed in August.  This was followed by radiotherapy. I was feeling great, ready to get on with my life and then came the medication; Letrazole, Adcal, Ibandronic Acid and Ribociclib.  I went downhill very quickly after starting the Ribociclib and was advised to stop the medication half way through the second cycle. I also had to stop the Ibandronic Acid because it was irritating my hiatus hernia.  This is now going to be administered through infusion.  Two months on and I still have some of the effects from the Ribociclib, however my doctor wants me to start a lower dose (200mg) and I know this is to prevent the cancer from coming back but I'm really not looking forward to it.
