I have been given Ribociclib with fulvestrant injection. After 2.5 cycles I developed shingles!! I am wondering if anyone has been on Abemaciclib. A CDK inhibitor with less action on ones immune system.??

Sorry you had shingles. So painful! I broke out with shingles 2 weeks after my mastectomy. That was 13 years ago. 7 years later I went on Kisqali and Letrozole for 5 years (still on Letrozole) and I’ve never had another shingles outbreak. Stress can be a trigger.

I’m very careful about washing hands and staying away from sick people. I think I only caught a virus 3 times in the 5 years I took Kisqali. Best of luck to you.
