Hi all. I'm new to site so bear with me ☺️ I was diagnosed a year ago with stage 4 inflammatory breastcancer. I done 3 Fec and 7 tax, followed by mastectomy and full lymph node removal, 15 radiotherapy then 8 herceptin/pertruzumab. Before the radiotherapy, it was diagnosed on my skin above the scar, so it was thought the radiotherapy would eradicate it from there, which it did! But since the then it has came back with a vengeance underneath the scar and right along the bra line, I've also lost most of the movement in my shoulder because of the damage from rads. The reason I'm posting is this...ive now been put on kadcyla, and because I had such a bad reaction to original chemos, was a bit reluctant, but was told it was well tolerated, a bit like the herceptin (which I had minimal effects). The day after my first treatment I was hospitalised because I was being sick every 10 minutes and couldn't keep antisickness down and 3 days after I'm wiped out and sleeping constantly. Has anybody else had such side effects and do they get better or worse with a cumulative effect. Thank you all and good luck onyour treatments xxx
