I have recently been diagnosed with grade 4 breast cancer. I have a drain in my right lung which is still draining 2/3 times weekly by District Nurses. I feel I am coping with the treatment and devastating news except for 1 thing. The 1 week I am off the Palbociclib I feel extremely nauseous and am often physically sick. I can’t eat anything for the week and feel it is undoing the good I get from the 3 weeks I am on the pills. I was prescribed Metocloparamide and after 1 week I felt better but not sure if it’s the anti sickness pills or just restarting the Palbociclib. Does anyone else experience this? Does it get better further into treatment?
Thanks in advance, Margaret
