Hi all, looking for anyone in a similar situation. I’m on Ribociclib for primary breast cancer (will be on it for 3 years) and I’ve done 8 cycles so far. I’m coping generally well with it, but am quite fatigued. My main problem is nausea. I feel very sick the week I start the medication and during the week break (3 weeks on, 1 week off), the other two weeks when I’m on the drug I have no nausea at all. They’ve given me metoclopramide but it doesn’t do much. The oncology pharmacist has said alot of the anti nausea meds aren’t suitable to be prescribed with Ribociclib so aren’t willing to switch the anti nausea to a different one. I’m getting worried I can’t cope with this nausea for another 2 and a half years. It’s effecting my work as I’ve had to leave a few meetings as I feel like I might actually be sick (but I never am).
Any advice appreciated, I regular have ginger tea and I wear the anti sickness bracelet bands. Thanks
