Good news

Great news @Palmbeachprincess. How long have you been on the abemaciclib and what are you side effects like? Have just come off abemaciclib (which I accessed through a trial) after 18 months due to progression (a couple of new small bone mets in hip). Strangely, I have never been so happy to have progressed as it means I can come off the abemaciclib. Each month I kept feeling worse and worse. I now have a month to recover while they decide what my next poison will be!!

Hi @Lisa1407
Its amazing how we each react. I had no side effects at all. So much so I thought I’d be given a placebo. I was told the worst is the diarrhoea but I ve not experienced that either. I have been on abemaciclib 10 months. It’s working well so far but I am fully aware the bastard c word will get clever at some point and then like you it ll be onto the next poison. It’s the gift that just keeps on giving 😬.
keep me posted on your next poison 
sending love and positivity x
