Hi
I saw my oncologist yesterday and I am due to go on Herceptin treatment next monday and I am very nervous.
I wondered if there is anybody here who is on Herceptin AND Pamidronate?? I am going to have both treatments, the Pamidronate is to help my bones because I have secondary breast cancer in my bones.
I just would appreciate any advice or experiences that anybody who is on BOTH drugs could share with me.Are there any major side effects with the Pamidronate??Is there anything that I could do to help reduce any side effects??
Any help/advice/support would be gratefully appreciated and I want to also say a BIG thank you to all of you who have responded to my earlier posts. It does help to know that I am not alone.Thank you for listening.
take care everybody and I look forward to hearing from you
hugs
Yvonne
