Hi, I have to make a hard decision for me, whether to take Verzenio (Abemaciclib) with letrozole or no….im on stage 2 with 2 lymph nodes, 69 years old, not in very good fit, and im afraid of side effects…Has anyone had a relapse after treatment with Abemaciclib? I think it can help me to make a right choice for me. Thank you.

  • No but I had it for two years with very little problems

  • Great to hear you had no problems. I think this is such a game changer of a drug it’s worth trialling and they can reduce the dose depending on tolerance. 

  • Hi, I’m just over a year into the 2 year course, I’m still on 150mgs but cumulative effect is making fatigue worse. I’m going to ask for a reduced dose when I am reviewed in 2 weeks. You can try Abemaciclib and reduce dose or stop if you find it too much. I am 63, diagnosed just before my 62nd birthday. Wishing you well with your decision.
