For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "At first, Ribociclib caused nausea and vomiting, so I was reluctant to eat and lost about 20 lb in 2 months. Eating 30 minutes beforehand tends to prevent nausea. Another immediate side effect was major fatigue. For the first month, I could barely get out of bed. Sometimes I slept more than 24 hours, only waking every 6 to 10 hours for bathroom breaks, then going back to sleep again. This is very frustrating, but it has improved over time. My depression has worsened - to the point where I think about abandoning Ribociclib because feeling like this for 3/4 of the time is unsustainable - but the medication is very effective. An early blood test showed a significant reduction in tumor markers. This reduction continued in my next blood test. It looks like the treatment is very effective at preventing the tumors from growing. I don't know if any of them have shrunk. A bone scan today should tell us this."
