Hi! I am stating chemotherapy next week, it will be docetaxel- carboplarin- pertuzumab- trastuzumab. Have anyone been there, on this drugs? Any idea what to expect?
I have 3 little children, wondering if be able to do everyday activities with them- school runs, cooking tea… ?
Hi, this is the same combination that I was on and I had 6 cycles, 3 weeks apart. Everyone reacts differently to chemo so it is very hard to say what it will be like for you. I had a few side effects, though I did manage to keep working through, but on flexible hours. Each cycle I found 1-2 days that were worse than others, then it got progressively better towards the end of the 3 weeks.
If it helps, take a look at my blog, Khufu give you an idea of how I managed. Chemo blog
Best of luck
Hi, chemo killed it completely before surgery, so I only had to have a lumpectomy. Then I had radiotherapy and am now on daily hormone tablets and 6 monthly bone infusions. I blogged a lot through
