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 Shaz yes my eyes are mildly dry, I went to optician and he examined them. They sometimes get nippy and red about a week after infusion. I also have weird twitching of upper eyelid from time to time.
the drops he gave me are optive fusion. You can also buy them over the pharmacy counter. They work fabulous. Try get some soon, I use them morning and night but can be more often
Hi shaz my treatment is going fine, bloods are always ok day before. I had the cold and sore throat last week but because of the infusion it pulled me down more. Just slight cough now and still working part time. I can’t wait till it’s over. Get my first mammogram post treatment in august and then hopefully get 2 weeks abroad somewhere with hubby . Good luck in your treatment too xx
Happy birthday for Thursday and hope it goes well on Friday. Do please send an update, I'm 10 days behind you so my 1st Kadcyla is on the 14th, xx
