PHESGO

Hi, I personally found Phesgo a breeze after chemo. No side effects at all. I was lucky enough to have treatment at home, and they even came to my office, injected me and I was back at work within half an hour.  My hair started to grow back after chemo and I also had some flexibility around the 3 week cycle. Hope this helps 

Thank you, that's quite reassuring. And knowing you were back at work too, feeling more positive.  Thanks 

Hi,

I am having Phesgo every three weeks (for a year), initially along with my weekly Paclitaxel (x 12) and have had four lots of Phesgo now and 11 weeks of Paclitaxel. 

I had a bigger dose of Phesgo on week one and I did have some joint pain about 48 hours after this, but no pain at all at the injection site.  For the following three I have had a smaller dose with no follow up pain at all .  I haven’t experienced any different side effects on the weeks I have Phesgo to the ones I don’t so am blaming all my side effects on the Paclitaxel!  I have my first Phesgo without chemo the week after next so I will know for sure then and can let you know.

I had 3x 3 weekly EC first and lost my hair about 3 weeks in.  To my surprise it started growing back about 5 weeks ago even though I am still having chemo so I am hoping it will continue growing when I am having Phesgo on its own.  

Congratulations on the end of your Chemo,
