Hi, my wife is about ten months into three weekly Phesgo injections for HER2+ breast cancer. Thankfully she got a PCR in Dec after chemo, surgery, radiotherapy, but has to take Phesgo until end of July. Lately she's been getting more regular and increasingly painful leg cramps at night. Does anyone have any effective solutions? Thanks!

  • Hi, I think it would be worth checking this out with the nurse or oncologist, just in case it's a side effect of phesgo.  Must admit I personally tolerated these injections really well, but as I sure you know, we're all different.  Best wishes

  • Anastrazole does the same thing to me. Hydration helps me as do Epsom salts in the bath water. And don’t laugh but lots of serious cyclists carry those little cafe envelopes of mustard and swear by them
