Cdk 4/6 inhibitor - node negative

Hi all - has anyone been on a cdk 4/6 for early breast cancer in Australia while node negative but otherwise having relatively moderate-high risk (eg stage 2, grade 2/3, high Ki67) hormone positive diagnosis?

  • Hi Beginner, my diagnosis was stage 2, grade 3, 1 lymph node involved. I've been taking abemaciclib since October last year as part of my ongoing treatment. It became available on the PBS towards the end of my chemo, and my oncologist was very happy he could include it as part of my preventative treatment, as I have a higher risk of reoccurance due to a ki67 of 30% the high grade of cancer, and the lymph node involvement. I'm assuming the lymph nodes don't have to be involved to qualify.
