Has anyone had hairbreakage and thinning of hair on Ribociclib. I know this is a side effect of the drug.
If so does anyone use anything that helped.
I'm using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner.
My hair is very brittle and dry.
I have secondary breast cancer to my bones.
Thank you
Hi KN1,
Many thanks for sharing your story. I'm just starting the treatment Ribo + Fulvestrant (this is my second week), and all the positive stories make me feel hopeful about Ribo. I took esomeprazole for 2 days and I'm also trying to eat food that doesn't upset my stomach, so porridge, bananas, veggie soups and eggs, etc. it seems to be working, the heartburn is almost gone, so I'm happy! Side effects come and go as you described.
Warmest wishes
