I just set up my name as a user on this site, but I have been following the site for the last ten years. I was initially diagnosed in 1991 with recurrences in 2001 and 2005. I have been NED for 8 years taking Herceptin every week. NED ended on September 13th when CT showed a tumor in the mesentery near my small intestine. I am scheduled for surgery on September 27th and then to begin Kadcyla two weeks later. I was wondering what side effects you have experienced from Kadcyla. I have had the top lobe of my left lung surgically removed and I am concerned about the effect of this new drug on my lung.
What other side effects have you had?
