Anyone taking a CDK4/6 inhibitor?

Posted by ginny100 @ginny100, Apr 7, 2024

Hi there, I have been advised to take CDK 4/6 INHIBITOR together with Aromatase Inhibitor for stage 4 Breast cancer with Osteoporosis.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?? Thanks in advance for any responses.

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.
