Re: TDM-1 side effects

Hi All...
I too am on the T-DM1 trial...August 30th will be my 3rd treatment..My dose was also changed due to a drop in platelets and high liver enzymes. I also noticed my period was heavier with the second treatment and experienced the nose bleed but not bad. I'm starting to have dry mouth as well. What I would like to know is has anyone experienced difficulty taking a deep breathe or a heavy chest feeling while lying down..this happens to me after the first few days of treatment and usually lasts 3-4 days. Also, this is the first time I'm hearing about the BBB
