Re: Treatment after Kadcyla?
Hi Juls. I won't pretend it was easy.....hair loss, fatigue but took anti nausea meds so that wasn't a problem. Fatigue was worse first week and I was almost back to normal by time for next dose. I'm not sure, but don't think we've as much choice of treatment as people in USA and you have to do something! I was treated at Gartnaval. Hope you get good answers soon. Nancy
