Ribociclib

Hi, ribociclib is approved for use in the UK - my consultant ultimately decided to prescribe me palbociclib instead but ribociclib is definitely being used in this country.

Hi, I am currently taking Ribociclib through the NHS and have been for almost a year. To begin with I had some dizziness about 30 minutes after taking it but I made sure I was sitting and eating my breakfast at that point and it soon cleared. I no longer experience the dizziness. I had nausea for a couple of days at the beginning of the cycle for two months but my cosultant prescribed anti nausea medication which helped. Overall I have had a really positive experience with the ribo. This time last year my cancer was spreading rapidly, at the moment it is dormant and there has been no new spread since I started the medication. If you need to know anything else, just let me know. 

Thank you. That’s reassuring. 
interesting hear you’re receiving it on the NHS too. 

I hope your story continues to to a positive one. 

Thank you. 

I hope you get the approval soon.
