Abemaciclib Verzenio for Stage IV

Hi @marcials1 I saw my oncologist yesterday and he was puzzled as to why ive got this cough, especially seeing as I've tried everything. So, he suggested I monitor it and try to find out what triggers it. Im thinking it may be related to my asthma so ive increased the number of puffs I take at night. Last night was a lot better so im going to keep that up while monitoring the effect. And yes, thankfully, ive actually learned how best to control the otger Verzenio side effects. I blubdered by having a greasy breakfast this morning too soon (2½hr after my pills), and my stomach reacted with a bit of diarrhea. But I've always got an immodium on the ready so I put that fire out pretty fast. That lesson needs to stick in my head 👍. Otherwise I take my pills with like 2 spoonfuls of plain boiled rice, ½ a slice of wholemeal bread with applesauce, or an equally tiny portion of a bland carbohydrate snack. When nausea hits, I take my antiemitic (like emitino), for gas i take Gasex immediately, followed by Rabeloc for a few days a Gasex. I also ensures to time my doses exactly 12hours apart (or as close as I can). Most importantly I dont eat for 2 hours before and 2 hours after my Verzenio. That important tip i got from the wonderful ladies on this group.
