Hi, I have been on abemaciclib for 18 months, along with tamoxifen, and the laste 3-ish months I have been extremely tired, much more so than usual. I also have achey thigh muscles when I go up stairs or stand from a chair. Not the most horrendous side effects I know but the tiredness is really getting to me. I don't want to lower my dose so I will persevere with it, until the end of the 2 years.
Has anyone got any experience of how quickly you feel better (if at all?) once you come of abemacicilb?
Thanks
