Side effects from chemo horrific

Less than one minute read time.

Hi there,

i was diagnosed in December 2025 HER2+ in right breast. Started chemo on 31st Dec. The side effects have been so bad that by number 3 they have reduced the dose by 20%. Although this helped with nausea the diarrhea has been relentless. The nurses have spoken about maybe changing me to the weekly Taxol chemo to help with this. Has anyone had a similar change done halfway? I have an appointment with my oncologist next week

  • Hello  

    I am Brian, one of the Community champions here at Macmillan - I have noticed you have posted the above in the blogs section and although you may get some replies you would be better off if it was posted in the Breast Cancer group which i see you are already a member of.

    Would you like to repost the question in the Breast Cancer group - link here:

    Breast cancer forum 

    or would you like the post above just moving there?

    Best wishes - Brian.
