1 of my eyes is just the same on these tablets, small price to pay for effectiveness of them though.

3

Yes same here mainly one eye , true it is a small price to pay

4

How long have you been on these tablets, I have just finished 3rd cycle , so hopefully they will help me

My eyes have been watering terribly for a couple of months. I hadn’t linked it to letrazol and Ibrance. Been on them since January.

6

Yes, me too…and it makes your nose run! I think it’s Ibrance, never had it on Letrozole alone. I’m expecting a surge in Kleenex sales, funded by me! x

Hi still here thanks for reply ,it must be Ibrance, as I too have taken letrozole before .Am now on 4th cycle , had pet scan , and it seems to be shrinking the cancer thank goodness.How are you doing ?

8

Thanks for reply riverside dawn thought it was just me

Have you had scans on this treatment

10

That’s great news, Hannah, long may it continue! I’ve been on Ibrance for 30 cycles, along with another drug on a trial, had lots of CT scans, still stable ?

11

Hi Stillhere gosh stable after 30 cycles that’s brilliant. I was in remission for 18 years , So was devastated, wen it returned.Its now in brachial plexus, around the nerves so inoperable…Let’s hope drugs carry on working.?

First time on this forum 

My eyes are very sore and constantly watering.Have just finished 6th cycle of Palbociclib and Arimidex.

Is this normal?

13

Hi I am fairly new to this site too . My eyes were watering constantly,and sore .I am using systane gel drops , so much improved.Its not cheap , but has really helped

14

Hi Annie what make is the eye gel ?

15

I don’t take the same combo but I’m on Letrozole with ribociclib. There’s no watering eyes but more dry mouth, skin and eyes. I think it’s the ribociclib but could be wrong.

16

Ok thanks oviously all similar side effects on this medication

17

I’m on my 13th cycle Ibrance & Letrozole last July my PET scan NED no evidence of disease I did the Happy Dance but my Watering Eyes are getting worse.at 1st I thought my allergies, then eye Doc, antihistamines don’t work nothing I’m trying works now I’m trying ?dropshelps for an
hour then watering again. I am so grateful the meds are working for stopping Cancer

Hi I will survive that’s brilliant you are NED gosh amazing How many cycles did it take to get to that .I am on same combo .Watering eyes is annoying systane gel drops have helped me , they are not as bad now .Hope ‘‘this helps ?

Anmat, I’ve got incredibly dry mouth top. I hadn’t linked that to drugs but may be it is.
