Just found out that following surgery I will be required to have another 14 treatments every 3 weeks of Pertuzumab/Trastuzumab. Totally knocked me for six. Just wondered if anyone has been through this and is it as bad as chemotherapy as all the symptoms for these drugs sound exactly the same as chemo. Not sure I can face another 42 weeks of feeling ill.
