kadcylas s/e 's are generally better than older chemos. fever , aches with initial doses , some get platelet drop and dose reduce , like my wife did after 7 doses. went to 3.o and still got to ned . those who are on it more than a yr need to watch for chronic liver irritation - my wife just stopped as liver , spleen showing some hopefully mild impairment .
but some pts have No s/e. one woman weknow is 6 yrs on it, ned, fullstrength, no significant s/e !
I highly recomend this drug for metastatic her2 - the earlier i n the progression the better - saved my wifes ' life. see how good Lorraine looks on our website : stageivsurvivor.webs.com , and learn how to be a bc Activist, more than an advocate !
