Re: An Old Warrior faces new battles
Hi Tricia,
I had navelbine with herceptin. My side effects were not necessarily typical: terrible heartburn. We finally got a handle on it with Pepcid (over the counter) and Nexium. During the treatment I continued to work full time, Mom full time, wife full time etc. I really wasn't limited except the discomfort; which we ultimately overcame. I hope this treatment is just as effective and manageable for you. Enjoy your trip!!
