Re: Newbie to this HER2+
OK. I had herceptin on Wednesday (a non event) and the TC on Thursday. So Saturday, yesterday, was the most challenging one for me. Flu-like symptoms. Body aches. I had the shot --neulasta on Friday. But this morning, the funny taste is here and a yogurt feels good going down. So, I only took Zofran and some motrin and here's hoping that today is a better day.
2 weeks in a row will be herceptin and chemo won't be again until October 7th. I'm in no hurry for it.
