  • Hi Cobbs, 

    I hope you are recovering well from your surgery. Side effects are always a bit of a worry when starting a new treatment as it's impossible to know in advance if you will suffer from any. It's useful though to be informed and our website has a useful page on ribociclib  which includes a list of common and occasional side effects. Make sure you talk to your medical team about any concerns you might have about this drug as I am sure they will be happy to give you further guidance. 

    Our cancer nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you would like to talk things through with them - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don't hesitate to get in touch with them if you have any questions post surgery or want to find out more about ribociclib. 

    I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have taken this treatment before and that they will pop by and share with you how it all went for them and whether they themselves suffered any side effects. 

    Best wishes for a full and quick recovery from your surgery,
