Hello, Im new to this this group but just wanted some advice.
I was diagnosed last October, had surgery in November and started EC treatment in February and now have 3 more Paclitaxel sessions left, then will be having radiotherapy. I have met with my consultant today who has suggested that aswell as hormone therapy for 5 years, due to my breast cancer being a 3cm grade 3 lump, I would benefit from taking Ribociclib for 3 years. The side effects appear to be similar to those of Paclitaxel, I know that not everyone get all of them but would love to get anyone's experiences please. I'm trying to see if the benefits outweigh the possible side effects.
Thanks
