Hi I was diagnosed with SBC, with tumours on both lungs, in August. Nearly at the end of docetaxol now, with scans to come. (fingers crossed!) But what's it like being on just three weekly injections of Phesgo? I've been having that alongside the chemo, so I wondered what side-effects I might notice when just on the one? How's it been for anyone else? And
hi to everyone here!
Hi
I was diagnosed in January this year with metastatic BC (peritoneal cavity, bowel, bladder, liver and bones) and had 6 cycles of Docetaxel along with Phesgo. Since June I've been on just the Phesgo (and denosumab for bones) and I'm back at work and feeling generally well. My side effects are minimal. Glad to hear you're at the end of the chemo, being on Phesgo only is far easier!

Hi I finished in July docetaxol and since then just the phesgo every three weeks and letrozole tablet, the phesgo doesn’t effect me at all on it’s own, I have no side effects and I have sbc but just in bones only little in the hip and shoulder so I think I’m quite lucky in a weird kind of way
