Kadcyla side effects

Oh, that sounds really rough. Have you spoken to your oncologist or nurse?  There might be something they can do either with your dose or with the anti sickness pills and I am sure they'd want to know how you are tolerating (or not tolerating) the treatment.  Best wishes

I’m with my onco on Thurs so I’m def going to discuss it. He described it as chemo light, slightly heavier than the phesgo but not as bad as the chemo I’ve had. I’ve managed a 30 min slow walk today but not back having a lay down cos I’m wiped out. Part of me is hoping I’m fighting a bug in the background as this isn’t gonna be fun for another 13 rounds! 

Ask your team if they can prescribe Akynzea. It's a long lasting ant nausea drug. You take it an hour before chemo, and it can last up to 5 days. It was a game changer for me. Good luck x

I have had 4 cycles so far and I need a further 7. I had 4 cycles of EC chemo and 12 cycles of paclitaxol. I was told the kadcyla would be a walk in the park in comparison to what I've had already and I have to say this chemo has been the worst.

I get achy arms, legs and abdomen. Very bad headaches, vomiting and nausea, shivers and bad fatigue. I have to say there has been no improvement yet with the 4 cycles I've had. I speak with my oncologist before each cycle and they keep prescribing me different antisickness etc to see if we can ease the side effects a bit. I would just keep mentioning it to them in the hope they give you something that works a bit.

Good luck with it all
