Hi,
I have just had my first treatment of 12 months after having chemo and surgery. Just wanted to get your experience of the drugs / side effects etc. I have a picc line in but really want that taken out now, are you ok to have the drugs without one?
Radiotherapy next too if anyone has tips for getting through that too please.
A bit daunted by it all!
Hi DLW and a very warm welcome to the online community
I can't help with your question about the PICC line but I noticed that your post hadn't had any responses yet. By replying to you it will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussions list where it'll be more easily seen. I'm also 'tagging' this group's Community Champion GRANNY59 into my reply as she may be able to help you further or point you in the right direction.
If you type 'trastuzumab and pertuzumab' into the search bar in the group it will bring up any previous posts which mention these drugs. You could have a read through those and respond to any of the more recent posters if you want to ask them any questions.
I have found this Macmillan information about trastuzumab and pertuzumab for you which tells you how the drugs are given and the side effects you might experience.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
