Hi all
I had my first zoledronic acid infusion on Thursday and started Abemaciclib on Friday. Only been on 2 days and the nausea is killing me. Has anyone else had this? Is it the fusion or Abemaciclib. I can’t believe I feel so sick. The anti sickness tablets are not really working. Can anyone help, please x
Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.
I had nausea when I started taking abemaciclib, last a couple of weeks, also had with 1st Zoldronic acid infusion for a few days.
Sounds like you are having a double whammy as stated both about same tune.
I found it passes but very unpleasant!
Best wishes, hopefully you will feel better very soon x
Hi Kitty
Thanks for response. Been taking on an empty stomach. As I’ve been feeling so sick been taking on a empty stomach so gonna try with food. Did you have sickness with acid and Abemaciclib. I’ve lost my taste as well, did you suffer with this?
Yes sickness with both. Few days after the infusion, but a couple of weeks with abemaciclib
I lost taste too with abemaciclib, but did improve after a couple of months
Try just eating things like, white bread, white rice, just bland carbs for a few days. Get plenty of fluids, water or weak squash.
Abemaciclib can be tough at first, I had bad stomach cramps & diarrhoea
Take care x
