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 Les, yes I have - twice, one ec and one docetaxel. I had cough, sneezes, sore throat and lost my voice. They didn’t seem fussed at all

    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.
