Perjeta/ Trastuzumab thoughts
Hi lovelies, I will start chemo soon. Perjeta as part of second part of my chemo is additional cost and not essential, what are your thoughts or experience on it? I am most likely going to go ahead...
A couple of add-ons to @Brianna’s helpful list.
*Not everyone on chemo gets nausea. I didn’t, not even slightly!
*The bloody, dry and uncomfortable nose may also be helped by nose oil, available at the chemist - mainly sesame oil and it works.
*I bought two good quality, new synthetic wigs rather than real hair. Much cheaper and so easy to wash and wear, no styling required. Just watch out for heat, when they say don’t open an oven door with one on, they mean it! A blast of heat can frizzle the fibre!
