Hi lovely people.
I've had successive reductions of ribociclib since my metastatic diagnosis last May. My team are now looking at alternatives. I can't find any (sensible) reports or studies on this.
Has this happened to anyone else.
Feeling a bit worried.
Hi
Yes same happened to me, ended up in hospital for a week with Sepsis. Neutrophils a huge issue.
oncologist moved me to Palbociclib and this improved it massively. Same group of drugs but a lot better to manage. Speak to your cancer team see if they can give this as an alternative.
good luck, hope you get sorted soon.
Hi Bassy.
Thankyou for telling me this. I've been hospital 4 times in 12 months with infections. Seeing my oncologist tomorrow. So waiting to hear what he says.
Thanks again.
