Starting Trastuzumab any side effects

Hi, Cockerpoomummy, I have just finished 4 rounds of EC chemo and starting 12 weeks of paclitaxel along with trastuzamab and pertuzamab injections 3 weekly on Friday so I am not able to tell you at the moment but I do hope we both get through this with little side effects. Jxxx

Hi Janicol thank you for your reply good luck on Friday and if you feel well enough let me know how your feeling, fingers crossed we get through this like you say with no side effects xxx

I've had 6 Herceptin injection so far with another 12 to go. I've had no side effects from them at all. It helps if the injection is warm and that the nurse knows to do it slowly over 5-8 minutes. 

Good morning cockerpoomummy

I didn’t have the A/C.But I am now on my third Trastuzumab another 9 to go along side 12 months of Herceptin 3 weekly injections.

I have found the Trastuzumab manageable i Have two days normally on a Thursday and Friday (I have my treatment on a Tuesday) I feel weary and aches but it is ok, no sickness 

up to now I have had no hair loss without cold cap, if any ladies who have had the same treatment as me managed to keep there hair I would love to hear from you or when did it start to go ??

Hi Jacala that is good to know thank you 

Hi Jude63 thanks for your reply 

Trastuzumab is Herceptin, it's the same thing. It's also sometimes known under Herzuma or Ontruzant. 

Hi.  I had Herceptin over 5 years ago and did ok until the last one which I could not have because my heart scan came back abnormal.

Jacala thanks for your reply 

Kazash56 thanks for your reply yes just had a heart scan myself it was all ok thank goodness
