Herceptin therapy after-effects

Hi, so sorry to hear about your wife. I am taking herceptin, but I have been fortunate and not had any severe side effects. However I thought I'd reply so this will bump you’re post back up to the first page as I noticed it had dropped down as the site is busy. I am sure someone with the right experience will be along to respond soon.

Hi Syed

It must be a hard time for you and you feel helpless ...I do feel for you. You're so great to reach out at this time I am sure stress levels are high as you are left to care with not much information to go with. I don't have much experience, but would encourage you to ring the Macmillan helpline for more support. Breast cancer now also have got some helplines, I went for the "Someone like Me" stint which hooks you up with someone similar so you get supported this way.

I also find if you're on FB, they have a Secondary BC support group you can join? The chats there may give you lots of information too.

Keep going as you're doing the right thing reaching out  talking and dealing/supporting your wife as best you can.
