Re: kadcyla side effects
for lorraine , the /se of fever, chills set in on day 2 after chemo lasted a day or so. some fatigue from day 2 on - so we got a tx on thursdays so i could help more on wkend. saturday was lorraines fever , chills day and she slept in afternoon. we did not have small child to watch - so some help for you those days 2-4 or so would be good. after 3 doses or so the fever went down , no chills , rare nausea. and then she reduced dose to 3.0 and fever became rare .
the long term effects for some - on plats, liver irritation are more of a concern for some super -responders like lorr. those who get a yr plus ned. lorr. had nueropathy from xeloda before t dm-1 , t dm-1 has made it worse, but she doesnt take anything. i hope you get the same response as for lorr. for her , this drug truly is a lifesaver . we would gladly take it again in same situation . much better than taxanes, adria, xeloda etc. for her . |

Re: kadcyla side effects
how long did lorraine feel rough for after each treatment
|
Re: kadcyla side effects
rough stuff was tac, xeloda and especially adria the second time. t dm-1 was much easier than those. felt the chills, fever for 2 -3 days during week one. then 2 weeks to rest up. t dm-1 is a chemo , so it has more s/e than Herceptin alone. but metastatic cancer is aggressive and t dm-1 is the strong cancer killer metastatic her2 pts need. some pts have no s/e.
