Hi Friends~
So excited to report that I started Pertuzumab on Thursday, with a mini dose of Taxotere because my plateletts are so low, and Herceptin.
I know this combo is going to work!
BUT, this diarrhea that I'm experiencing 36 hours after is BRUTAL and rivals Tykerb as I remember it.
At least the infusion is only q3 weeks, so I hope this side effect doesn't last the entire time.
I'm afraid to eat out or eat and leave my house for fear of something really awful happening while I'm out in public!

I know this is a common side effect, but is there anyone else out there that can share some practical information about their experiences?

I don't want to have to bail on this regimen bc of the GI issues!

Keeping the Faith~
