Re: TDM-1 side effects

Barb had her second treatment Tuesday after an uneventful first on the 28th of Aug. She did feel some pain in the tumor site in her left breast but felt like it was more in her shoulder. Now after the second treatment she has developed a cough and felt achy all over Wednesday. Its so hard to know what is treatment related and what may simply be a bug. We had our two grandsons over Tuesday night only to find out yesterday that the oldest had to leave school yesterday and threw up when he got home. Just what Barb needs right? She said she felt OK this morning but didnt get a good nights rest. Personally I think theres a war going on at the tumor site in her breast and those little TDM-1 boogers are kicking some cancer A_ _.
