Hi everyone been on this drug three weeks now feel tired of a morning and fatigued slightly sick .Also I get watery eyes when walking about anyone else had that ?
Hi Mere
I saw your message had not had any replies, clearly given this forum this is not something I have experienced and my wife's cancer is very different though she had quite a range of impacts with her chemotherapy.
I did look at the page on the site about the effects of Abmeciclib and I can see the symptoms you list seem to be fairly common. As ever if you have concerns about something it may be worth talking to your oncology team or ring the helpline here.
Good luck with your treatment, fingers crossed.
<<hugs>>

I’ve not started yet - collected the tablets today - but I do get watery eyes when walking about so I thought I’d say you’re not alone in that - I started Letrozole a month ago and I think it’s been more noticeable since then though I also had weepy eyes during chemo. It’s hard to keep track of what side effect is from what treatment.
Hi
I’m the same. Started letrozole 5 days ago. My eyes have gradually got worse but I think it’s since I lost my lashes and eyebrows. I have eye drops which help a little. Xx
