Re: Perjeta #2 with Herceptin

I just jumped on the perjeta train today too! Infused with Herceptin. I will be adding in tykerb next week. They want to be careful about GI issues. Have you had any? My lower bowels already sound a bit angry! No cramping though, so i dont mind. I hope we all have success with this drug! Good luck Sheila!
