Hi
Abemaciclib - i started on this Mid April 2026 and dose reduced to 100mg 5 weeks ago.
Diarrhoea is the main issue, 2-3 times per day. Told to take Imodium {Lopermide} 2.5mg at first loose motion.
my concern is taking Loperamide over 2 years what impact will it have on the bowels.
or is this something we just have to go with.
I had lumpectomy, Grade 3, hormone fed cancer and 4 cancerous lymphnodes, chemo, radiotherapy and Letrozole.
any thoughts
thank you
