Hi I have just started cycle 3 of 2 doses of ribociclib. The first 2 cycles i had hardly any issues. Day 1 of cycle 3 I was really sick then struggled with mild constipation. But the fatigue for these first 4 days is completely wiping me out. I'm trying to keep active but just want to lie down with my eyes shut. Anyone had similar experience? Did it improve? Can't cope if it's going to be like this every day. 

  • Hi, sorry to hear you're struggling so much this time round with fatigue, that sounds really tough.  I didn't have that experience myself but I'd just say to make sure you chat to your BCN in case they want to adjust anything. Best wishes and I hope tyou feel better soon

  • Hi Lindsey I have been on ribociclib for about 15 months.  I think the fatigue does get better.  I find that pushing through and keeping active really helps me.  If I sit down it makes it worse.  How long do you have to take it for?
