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
