August 2025 chemo starters

Hi @pips12. I’m just coming to the end of my 2nd cycle on ribociclib and, so far, no horror side effects. I was really expecting the worst so it’s been a pleasant surprise to feel broadly normal. Hasn’t stopped me doing anything I want to do (walks, gym, a few wines here and there) and my hair is still growing too. Plus no diarrhoea…always a bonus.

Realise above could all change as the ribo builds in my body - and I know we’re all different - but hopefully my early positive experience of it might help counter some of the negatives you might have read about.

Like @bramble1 I’m on Letrozole, Adcal tabs and 6 monthly Zometa infusions (same as Ibandronic acid just given in different way).

Good luck! X
