    Eribulin is an easy chemo. Day 4 and 5, I feel a little more tired so make sure I get extra rest. Mouth gets a little yucky but Biotene sorts that out. I lost 45% of hair but its already growing back and I am still on it. No eyebrows or eyelashes to speak of. Neuropathy but manageable . On my off week I mostly feel pretty great.

    Thank you so much Tennille
    I’m starting it next week but I’m meant to be going on Holliday the following week so I don’t know whether to cancel or go.

    Hi @Tennille, I've been on Eribulin for around 5 months now & no major side effects. I do get a little tired a few days later & have had an upset stomach occassionally, but it is manageable. Good luck with it.
