Letrozole and Ribociclib has been prescribed for me as adjuvant treatment -
I’ve had mastectomy and chemo -
im very concerned about Ribociclib as they are just starting to use this for prevention - NICE will publish in July - but there are no significant findings yet of its efficacy
( I’ve been more concerned about this than all my journey so far)
has anyone been prescribed these and what effects do you have ?
thank you
