Hi MrsMorrisey,
Thanks for responding. The Ribociclib is a similar drug to the Abemaciclib. Both are chemo drugs, and both are recommended for high-risk re-occurrence cases.
I was initially told I'd have just 12 weeks / 4 rounds of chemo, but then my oncologist encouraged me to do 20 rounds of dose-dense chemo.

So was upset to then be told they recommended another 2 years of chemo treatment albeit just in tablet form.
It's just so hard to know whether all this 'insurance' treatment is worth it, particularly over such a prolonged period. Definitely does you head in you say!
