Re: Cdk 4/6 inhibitor - node negative
Yep 400mg/day, 21 days on/7 days off. I had one month where I had to extend my 7 days off due to low neutrophils. And a few months where my kidney function wasn't great (but i'm on so many other meds that it's hard to know if it was the Ribo or not). Initially I had a heap of nausea, so swapped to evenings and no problems since then. I tend towards constipation but keep it under control, and for a few days each month am exhausted so chill on the couch for the weekend. The occasional patch of itchy skin. That's really it I think.Fun Buns at Bakers Delight
I hope everyone has been supporting Bakers Delight through the month of May?! They've been supporting BCNA now for 25 years which is just amazing! On the weekend I volunteered at one of the stores in Perth & encouraged people to buy a pack of 6 x Fun Buns for $8.50 with 100% of the sales going straight to BCNA. It was a fantastic chance to give back to the BCNA as I know it was certainly the first place I went looking for information when I was diagnosed.

Hi all :) I was just wondering if anyone else is sharing their Breast Cancer journey over on Instagram? I set up a page recently as I want to spread awareness about the realities of treatment & survivorship. I didn't quite have it in me as I went through the first part of my treatment (2 x surgeries, chemo & rads) to share as I went, but now i'm in the next phase (Ribociclib for 3 years + Zoladronic Acid 6 monthly + a bunch of other meds from side effects) I am starting to share more & recount my experiences. It's been lovely to connect with others as well. If anyone would like to follow you can find me at @breastcancerbanterRe: Anyone in Perth, WA?

Just started second week of radiation...so far not too bad. Am tired, but also not sleeping great, so could be that too. How about you...do you have a treatment plan in place? Im overseas this week work work (oh the irony!) but meet with the team next week to firm up surgery plans/dates.
