I have had a mastectomy for triple positive grade 3 breast cancer.
I have completed 13 weeks of paclitaxol and Herceptin 8 weeks ago. I had horrendous side effects rash, diarrhoea and swollen limbs.
I am now just on Herceptin and Anastrozole .I am still very tired my legs are swelling at the end of day and I can’t walk very far without feeling exhausted. I also have mild diarrhoea ..
I wonder does anyone have experience of how quickly I will improve .
Thank you
G
