After surgery, chemo, radiotherapy Phesgo is the final line of attack - after 8 injections it has caused a lower output from heart plus inflammation and oedema in the heart - Phesgo is now paused and being referred to London specialist hospital - any comments/similar experience would be very helpful - thank you.
Hi, sorry to hear this, that must be a bit worrying for you. I know I had regular heart scans whilst on phesgo so it must be a known side effect so thinking positively, at least this has been picked up and dealt with. I hope the specialist referral is successful in helping you resolve this. Best wishes
