UTI - again!
I have always been prone to UTIs, and had 2 or 3 while on chemo. I have one more Herceptin infusion to go, and tonight I am starting another UTI - the third one in four months. This is getting really old - luckily I have some CIPRO XL on hand and will start on it tonight, go to my GP in the next day or 2 to get more.
I'm wondering if anyone else had this many, I have read it is a possible s/e of Herceptin- (like what isn't?). Any suggestions on what to do - will it get better after Herceptin finishes? I'm wondering whether I should ask my GP to put me on a low-dose of antibiotic for the next month until I finish my Herceptin treatments.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
all the best
caya
