Ribociclib and Letrozole

[Intollinna]

My breast cancer which was removed two years ago has come back in my breast bone (7mm) and S1 (1 cm). I have been told I need to start taking Ribociclib and Letrozole. Any of you has experience of taking these same medications together? Did they work? How did they make you feel? I hope I will still be able to work and do the things I enjoy X

I've taken letrozole since October 2015, my joints ache but I'd rather that than the other option. Good luck with your treatment and I jope all goes well.

I have only taken Letrozole for 6 months now - some joint/bone ache but I still work and it hasn't stopped me from doing anything. I am taking it because my breast cancer also came back. I was also concerned with how it would effect me so I didn't take it the first time. All my Doctors agreed I needed to this time because I don't want to do this again. Prayers all goes well with your treatment.

hi Intollinna,

I’ve been diagnosed with metastatic Br Ca and have been taking Letrozole and Ribociclib together for a year now. I get stiff joints , but then I also have polymyalgia. Initially I felt nauseous, but the dose was reduced and I feel fine and the meds are working well.

All good wishes for your treatment.
