Dizzy on week of ibrance

[marianne88]

Hi anyone get dizzy on your week off. Strange

[Selmac]

I get dizzy spells on and off. My week off I'm dealing with the effects of Faslodex and Xgeva. I've also had inner ear problems for 15 years so I just ignore it. I think I read on the official Ibrance website that dizziness is possible.

[marianne88 in reply to Selmac]

Do you have faslodex at the end of your week off

[Selmac in reply to marianne88]

I get my Faslodex and Xgeva tomorrow. Also tomorrow is my last day of Ibrance for this cycle.

[Swtberry]

I do. Actually it's the week off I get major side effects from ibrance. My week off is starting tomorrow, I have started feeling dizzy from yesterday and I expect more for the next 7 days. My doctor said it's as a result of the build up in the body. I feel better when I start a new cycle.

No I haven't.

Anyone have dry itching skin on Ibrance and/or Letrozole. I am in Southern CA and its been pretty dry but even the most emollient lotions aren't working. I didn't see this as a side effect so just wondering.

I have very dry skin. My oncologist told me I would experience very dry skin.

I would call it lizard like...my Dermatologist recommended Vanicream. Costco sells it. It is heavy but it works.

[Kimr2081 in reply to Lisa-n-AZ]

Thanks will try it. I feel like one of the drug addicts that's always picking or scratching at their skin.

Iv'e noticed that I have started to have dry itchy skin. It may be the Ibarance/Letrozole along with the dry winter weather.

[Winlynn in reply to Kimr2081]

I do , the doctor just prescribed Atarax for me and it helps immensely with the itchiness, doesn't do a thing for the dryness.

[Kimr2081 in reply to Winlynn]

I could probably deal with the dryness but the itchiness drives me crazy. Thanks for the info.

[SeattleMom]

Just starting my first week off, so will let you know. Hope you're doing better!

[Wildcat1]

My worst week is the week off of ibrance. Bad mouth sores and extreme fatigue. Go figure😂😂

[SusieIM]

oh sorry to hear many of us get these suckie side affeects. This is my fourth cycle. I get tired, dry skin, but not severe.

[Kimr2081]

Fortunately no. My major issue is the dry itchy skin and insomnia but my doctor says that is more than likely from the Letrozole.

Hi Marianne,

I do get dizzy spells on occasion and yes they do happen most on my week off. Nothing too severe but I do find I have to grab the counter or wall, etc to come out of it. I worry about this because after almost two years of treatment this is kinda new. I used to get dizzy spells a lot before I was re diagnosed. One of those symptoms pre re diagnosis that told me something was wrong. I’m choosing to ignore this for now and accept it as a side effect.

Each body reacts different, each cancer is different. I have breast cancer with metastasis all over my skeleton and when I feel better is in my week of IBRANCE God bless us all
