Hello. I had my first blood test yesterday in readiness for starting Abemaciclib (my doctor appointment for this is Friday).
I have just read some disclosed guidelines which state ribociclib is now the preferred ADK 4/6 inhibitor for early stage HER2 negative. I’m doing lots of research to find out why but just wondered if anyone had any thoughts/experience of this themselves.
So far I have found the percentage outcomes as follows-
Abemaciclib- 15.8% reduction in risk of death.
Ribociclib- 25.1% reduction in risk of death.
Hi
my oncologist put me on Ribociclib and said it could provide 25 -30% reduction of recurrence. Just finished my third cycle with only a couple of very minor side effects.
That is good to know thank you so much for responding. That is a high rate.
