Hi, I'm Lesley
I had breast cancer 3 years ago which has now come back in limp nodes, chest and lungs
About to have my 5th round of docetaxel, trastuzumab and pertuzumab but have a lousy cold and blocked ear, don't have a temperature
Has anyone had chemo whilst having a cold
Many thanks
Les
Hi Ruthie2
Thank you for your reply, and did you feel ok afterwards??

I was fine with both, went to work etc, but the last one, which was docetaxel last week, I was told 2 days later they’d made a mistake and I hadn’t been given the full dose. Don’t know if I’d have felt any different if I’d have had the full amount.
let them know when you go for bloods, see what they say.
