Ibrance (palbociclib) "My tumors are shrinking and the cancer in the bones is no longer as painful. Maybe this is useful for others. Although it is recommended to take with food in the mornings, I am taking my meds in the evening 3 to 5 hours after I have eaten. I have had problems as I got older with heartburn and was taking medication for that, then I was able to stop heartburn Rx meds through intermittent fasting 16/8. I stopped the intermittent fasting after starting my oral chemotherapy but had once again heartburn and nausea. So I decided to switch my schedule after talking to my doctor to taking Ibrance in the evenings during the fasting phase. I have been doing well with nausea and the Ibrance is working. Recommend intermittent fasting to others!"

"I am now in my 2nd year of palociclib following a 3 month probability of life. I have tolerated it well with very few side effects except a lowering of neutrophils, I started on 125mg, now on 100mg. My cancer markers were 1431 and are now at 22. Amazing thank you"
