Ribociclib

Hi just completed my first fist 3 week cycle of ribociclib and fulvestrant and am experiencing toothache and sensations in my top and lower jaw a bit like numbness. Also have neuropathy in my feet -a resurgence from intravenous chemo from 2013/4. Took 5 years to recover but 3 weeks to regress. 

Anyone able to identify with these on the same treatment? 

Thank you

Pauline
