Palbociclib side effects

Hi all, I'm two weeks in to my first cycle of palbo. I've picked up a cold a few days in and can't seem to shake it. I'm waking each day with a horrendous headache, body aches, wicked fatigue and all the sinus symptoms and cough as well. My GP says there's no signs of infection caused by neutropeania, but I cant help but wonder if my body's defences just can't fight it OR if some of the symptoms are the palbo itself. I'm having bloods done this morning for review tomorrow, but wondered if any one here has experienced anything like this before I see the oncol tomorrow.

    Sounds like shit @Molly001, I am scared to take this drug but have to decide soon if I want to do the trial. I'm just so over everything.I hope it's not the drug, but tell me how you go. Here's hoping you feel better soon.

    Hey Molly I have been on Palbo for two years now, and I am experiencing my first cold/flu. I'm in my 40s and it is just part of my life now. My Onc says I will be on this treatment for at least another 3 years. I hope ur bloods were good n look forward to chatting. This is my first time here as I've just signed in & u r thr first person I have replied to.
