Since the start of herceptin seem to get a build up of acid. Has anyone else experienced this thanks Eileen
Hi Eileen
I have had terrible heartburn since starting chemo… i don’t start Herceptin til January… No hope for me then!!!

I developed stomach damage as a result of chemo and am on omeprazole, which work wonders and stops the acid reflux.
When the problem 1st occurred I saw a stand-in GP who gave me gaviscon but that had absolutely no effect (my own GP later made some comment about it being as much use for me as a chocolate fireguard). So I phoned the chemo nurses, they confirmed that my problem was the result of FEC and suggested I ask my GP for omeprazole.
I’ve been on and off it ever since, and it’s a godsend.
Regards,
Lynn
Thanks Lynne I have some of those left over from chemo days I will start taking them love Eileen
