Can I ask if anyone has experienced a weight gain whilst taking both Ribociclib and Letrozole please ? x
Hi Springer mum. I am on Ribociclib and Exemastane and yes have had weight gain. It is very hard trying to shift it and I do walk every day. I have only been on it for 7 months. I don't think it is doing my joints much good being overweight. Have you put on weight too?

Thanks for your reply Lee, yes I appear to be gaining weight weekly since commencing in February despite trying to lose it as I need a knee replacement. Hoping it will stabilise soon . Hope you are keeping well x
