Ribociclib & Letrozole

Hi TeresaRibo,  I am on ribociclib and exemastane as did not get on with letrozole and also on denosumab.  I have been on them since December and will be on them indefinitely or until they stop working.  Are you asking about the side effects?

Hi TeresaRibo,   I am slso on Ribociclic and anastrozole (switched from Letrozole) and due to start 6 monthly zometa infusion's (got to have 2 impacted wisdom tooth extractions first ).  I will be on this until they stop working or my body can no longer tolerate.   Started the AI in May and Ribo in July.   

Yes I sm,

I hsve been really struggling with indigestion trapped wind. Oncologist won't hear of any connection with the meds.

I'm interested to know what others are experiencing

Hi TeresaRibo,  that's funny I have been struggling with the same and bloated stomach I never connected it to Ribo.

Hallo, i started ribocliclib and letrazole a few weeks ago, i fine for the wek or so i was just on letrazole but when i started ribociclib i had mild nausea after i had takrn it but it was sorted by eating, snd faded duting the day. But after completing the 1st 3 week cycle 3 days ago i have been feeling more nauseous and eating soesnt help. And as the day progresses i too have had severe teapped wind in my stomach , its not painful but makese feel really sick and bloated.I just want to do a massive burb but i cant. I think it is the meds but i dont understand why im feeling more nauseous since i stopped ribocylib for a week, than i did before. Yesterday i rang the hodpital oncology hrlpline and they prescribed metoclopramide but its not hrlping, and now the idea of putting a y meds iin my mouth triggers a wave if nausea. So your experience with trapped wind isnt unique. But can anyone telle if this nausea gets less as your body gets used to  the ribocyclib? 

Sorry about the typos in what i posted above. Hope its intelligible x
