I started this today after palbociclib stopped working. Any good news stories about it?

I had 5 tablets with breakfast 

any tips appreciated x

  • I was on this drug for 18 months before it stopped working.  Yes 5 or 6 pills twice a day for 2 weeks then 1 week off.  I had quite a few side effects & my    Dose was lowered. Still had hand & foot redness & peeling but learned to manage it with udder cream (from Amazon - the one with urea). Really good results so bear with it  

    • I'm on cape just finished 4th cycle, I have been good on it but this 4th cycle I've felt sickly but not actual sick and tired, also like dorsetpip, I've developed hand and foot, been using the udder cream, I've just had my 1st scan since starting cape, get results on 31st, 2 week wait I think is cruel. All the best when you start your cycle xx
