For Breast Cancer "Diarrhea, fatigue, decreased stamina, muscle aches, and watery eyes, which I find very annoying and embarrassing. I can end up with crusted salt marks on my face. Hair thinning, lower immunity, and raised LFTs, neutropenia. The diarrhea causes anxiety when out, as I enjoy walking and cycling, so often no toilets around. I am taking adjuvant abemaciclib and on cycle 21, but still taking 150 mg twice daily."
