Hi I am after 8 infusions of kadycla -tdm1 /6 left to prevent recurrence

I have a cough with the last few weeks, I am just wondering did anyone else have a cough from build up of kadycla treatments?

Thanks

  • Hi Eirama

    On Wednesday I will get my 12th kadcyla. Thinking back, I had an annoying cough round about where you are and I put it down to kadcyla as that’s one of the side effects. I cant remember when I stopped with the intermittent coughing but it’s certainly been away a while now x

  • Hi

    i also have bother with neuropathy at night in bed which prevents me from sleep for ages ! I am on amitryptilline which probably helps to some extent so I can’t wait for that to improve once finished 

  • Have you tried a bed cage over your feet? I know it sounds strange but like you I have neuropathy which is often worse at night. Sheets and duvets can feel like lead weights and finding somewhere comfortable for burning, cold feet can be impossible. However, when the doctor recommended the cage, I tried it and was astonished at the improvement. I bought my cage in a chemist for less than 5€.

    I hope your neuropathy is only temporary. For many people it isn't the result of permanent nerve damage. Unfortunately mine was caused by Taxotere and the neurologist has told me, it will be permanent.

    I haven’t tried this no. I usually use a cool pad which is lovely but my grandson took it !! I’ve remembered I need to order another one from Amazon as it really helps the burning. If all fails I will try what you recommend thankyou x
