Hi everyone...I find myself on here again following bowel cancer 10 years ago. Then a year ago I was diagnosed with HER2 positive breast cancer. I'm on Herceptin injections every 3 weeks..which are almost at an end....and Letrozole for 5 years. I was just wondering if anyone had upset tummy problems on this regime? 

  • Sorry to hear that you are back here again. I am HER2 positive too and am on Phesgo - Herceptin and perjetta injections every 3 weeks, I have about 6 left. I'm on Letrozole and zoladex for 5 years also. I am exactly the same with my tummy. It started about 2 months ago and seems to be bad for about 2 weeks after my injections. Hoping that when it's done in a few weeks it will all go back to normal.

    Hi Caroline...thank you for your reply..im still trying to find my way round this site...think I've just duplicated my post!! 

    I'm pleased I'm not the only one with these side effects. Most ladies seem to be having problems with joint pain...ive not had that so far!! 

    Yes let's hope it will subside once our treatment finished.

    Good luck on your journey and thanks again
