Sorry to see you join the group @Katie46 - feel free to fill us in on your diagnosis/surgery/treatment up til now to get a 'fuller picture' of your story so far. ;)

Info from others (who've taken it) is here .... you may be able to glean some info from them?)https://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/search?domain=all_content&query=Abemaciclib&sort=-dateInserted&scope=site&source=community
