Help with chemo meds

Hi there.

I have had chemo which I couldn’t complete as it made me so unwell.Just finished Radiotherapy. I am taking Letrozole and now I am to have Abemaciclib table with the Letrozole for 2 years.

I am so upset that the side effects are similar to my reaction to the chemo I couldn’t tolerate. Also my hair is growing back now and I don’t want to loose it again!

Can anyone who has been through this get in touch about their experience please.

Surely if side effects kick in you can’t live like that for 2 years!?

Many Thanks

I understand your worry. Many people find Letrozole with Abemaciclib challenging at first but side effects often become more manageable over time. It is important to speak to your oncology team as they can adjust doses and suggest ways to reduce side effects. You are not alone and connecting with others who have been through this can help.

Yes thank you. The Oncologist said he could reduce the dose.

I suppose it’s a case of wait and see!

Thanks
