I have been on Palbociclib 125mg since October 2020. Over the last 6-9 months, once I start taking it after the 1 week break, I have excruciating stomach pains for 3 days. Any advice about why this might be or what might help?
Thank you!

Hi louises46
Thanks for posting.
Unless associated with diarrhoea, abdominal pain isn’t a commonly reported symptom of palbociclib.
