Hi, has anyone had this infusion and what are side effects like? Been reading that
It causes all sorts
Hi
I've been having them every 6 months since December 2022 and haven't experienced any side effects.
I have them annually, feel a bit under the weather for a couple of days, nothing too bad though. Drink plenty of water before and after, take a couple of paracetamol and hopefully
Finished 3yr of 6 monthly infusion of ZA in Jan 23 few side effects a bit off for a couple of days nothing serious .
As I’ve recovered from 4 yr of treatment I now realised i was fatigued but this could have been combination of follow on treatments after surgery in July 19 then chemo ..Herceptin & ZA .
My advice would be listen to body if it’s tired rest make sure you have dental check prior to starting and have a chat with your dentist he should be able to reassure you about SE .throughout treatments I used a soft child’s toothbrush to help protect gums and teeth .
