Anyone on this drug for breast cancer on lungs? I’m due to start this treatment on Thursday and would love to hear some positive stories.
Thank you
Hi Lindz
It's been a while and I thought I'd check in. Hope your weekend went well and food/ nausea is starting to work for you. Mine has kicked in with a vengeance but I've finally realised what's causing it. The chemo/chemical releases into the saliva in your mouth and reacts. I finally found this out yesterday when I tried an apple.
Good luck with work this week.
Love

Hi Lindz
Glad to hear you've improved. It's always great to feel you can go from one cycle to another and have some positive days before the next round.
Sorry I've been out of it for a week. My husband ended up hospital last week and he's still there. Being on my own has had its challenges trying get by.
I also ended up in hospital Friday, with one of brain mets issues. They've put me back on the full dose of steroids until I see the oncologist, which is next week.
My side effects primarily are still here. I made the mistake of eating something at the hospital when I took my husband in and my large intestine objected, until today. Hopefully today I'm just feeling sore and in recovery mode.
I have got weaker but I have a theory on it. Exercise and diet. I've found if I don't get enough veg it makes a difference every day, so I make sure lunch and dinner has some in it. The energy it gives makes breathing easier. Don't know why yet though
Cycle 2 starts a week Thurs for me.
Good luck
Love Sledge xx
