Palbociclib

Hi, my name is Dawn, 8 years secondary breast cancer. I just wondered if there are any other ladies out there that are on Palbociclib/Fulvestrant combo. I was given my first dose of Fulvestrant yesterday, the Palbociclib has yet to arrive. Side effects of this drug are pretty scary, so I just wondered how other ladies are coping. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Dawn

  • I understand but when you think about it there's always a long list of side effects even in a box of paracetamol... think of it that way. You may not get one or you may get one or two. There's always anti sickness meds if you feel nauseous. Peeling hands and feet are the most common. There's an amazing moisturiser to help combat this called Bag balm which is in a tin, pop some of that on with some cotton gloves (and cotton socks if feet affected). As you know, you can always contact your nurse/doctor about any side effects you face. Good luck starting your first cycle! Always here if you need a chat :) xxx
