I have 6 more months of abemaciclib to go. I'm on 100 dosage. It's always affected my bowels but just lately I am getting a lot of mucus in my stools I pooped a strand of it that was about a foot long. I'm also getting very breathless and have trapped wind. I have swollen legs too. My oncologist has booked a heart scan and lung CT scan. I am asthmatic x I will be so glad to finish these damn pills dry skin, itching down below, thin hair, visual disturbances, silent migraine, broken fingernails and lack of sleep. Fear of not being close to a toilet.
