Relieve from Ibrance

My onc took me off Ibrance for a month because of low white blood cells and I was too weak to walk up 6 stairs and was falling.

It has been 5 weeks now (I see her in 5 days) and only yesterday did I feel normal. Is it possible that it took almost 5 weeks to get it out of my system?

It doesn’t sound crazy because whatever dose you’re on knocked u for a loop. A lower dose might solve your problems

That’s right. I had to reduce my dose one time for the same reasons you did and have done fine since. You hang in there.
