Hi All,
I’m due to start Kadcyla next month.
I’ve had chemotherapy, lumpectomy and and recently finished radiotherapy.
Just wanted to ask how the side effects are if anyone is on Kadcyla?
Hi all - how is everyone doing on this thread. I have 2 more left having done 12/14 so far - hope all doing well.
Hello. I finished on 21 December and I’m doing well!! Getting on with life, starting to travel, off to Lisbon tomorrow on my birthday . You are nearly there… you’ve got this
Hi All, unfortunately I've got really bad peripheral neuropathy as a result of Kadcyla so they have stopped mine after 4 doses. I've missed 3 doses and am not having any more. I've been put back on Herceptin infusion. My feet are so bad I'm struggling to walk and am on so many pain meds. I'm now under thd pain team to try and help. Hope you are all coping okay xxx
So sorry to hear this Mandi, that sounds awful. I really hope that the pain gets sorted and your symptoms ease off. Much love, xx
Thankyou. I am now under the care of the pain team so fingers crossed. Xxx
Sorry to hear that Mandi - hope you get it under control soon and moving forwards. I have PN too but fortunately not too bad at the mo. take care x
Good to hear - have a great trip and Happy Birthday x
It's horrible isn't it? Mine was so bad I was crying in pain. It's improved since I had a lidocaine and magnesium infusion via hhe pain team but not gone. Hoping it will soon resolve as I'm going back to work in May, I'm a clinical nurse specialist and looking forward to a bit of normality xxx
Hi Mandi - how is your PN now....getting better I hope. I have it too and my last treatment is probably not going ahead now. all the best
