Hi everyone, I am just awaiting cancer clinic to call to arrange appointments for Taxol and Herceptin, just wondering how people are doing with side effects, how much hair loss and if returning to work is going ok? My oncologist said this therapy for HER2 positive, my diagnosis, is as “gentle” as chemotherapy can get? Thoughts? I’m very nervous…my overall health is good and heart condition is great.
Hi al1and,
Thank you for your comment. If you like, you can post this message on our Ask Our Nurses board, where a nurse can reply to provide clinical advice about the side effects of Taxol and Herceptin.
Alternatively, you can call them freephone on 0808 800 6000.
They are available Monday to Friday from 9am - 4pm and Saturdays from 9am-pm.
Sending you our best wishes,
Saskia
