Palbociclib "My husband started taking Ibrance 100 mg yesterday, July 10, 2019, around 11:30 a.m. Within a few minutes, his face was numb. We ate lunch, he said the pork chop wasn't good and tasted funny. The numbness ended up covering his body head to toe, and he felt stoned. He looked stoned, like he wanted to sleep, this lasted all day. We went to bed around 11 p.m., and it was starting to wear off. Then, during the night, he felt like he had pins and needles all over and said it hurt. He also had chills several times throughout the day. He is still sleeping this morning, so I'm not sure how he feels. I did contact the doctor's office, and they said for him not to take anymore today and made an appointment for next Tuesday. They also said when he gets up, if he still has numbness, to go to the ER, if not, he can stay home, but no more Ibrance until he comes in. They want to monitor him after he takes it. He doesn't normally take meds, so I'm not sure if this is why it affects him in this way."

"I was diagnosed in late January after an extremely large mass was found in my stomach. It was biopsied and came back as a lipoma sarcoma. They were unable to remove the whole mass as it’s entwined in the mesentery artery. We were hoping to get me into a study but found out this is so rare that they don’t have enough people in my area (Nashville) to even have a study. I started the Ibrance (off-label) this March, so no real side effects have arisen. I am extremely depressed and have a yeast infection under the fat roll in the lower stomach area, so I guess that’s one side effect, as well as low WBC count. Can’t find a support group for this as I don’t have breast cancer, and this is curable-we hope-but just wanted to share with those on this drug and pray for those with breast cancer. Thank you for letting me share my story. Laura Cothran 5/1/18"

"I have been taking Ibrance for a week, now with no side effects as of yet. I have had liposarcoma since 2014 and have had four surgeries, HIPEC, and radiation. My case is different because technically I am 'cancer free' after having my last surgery in June. We are trying this drug to see if it will keep the disease away. I am hopeful..."
