Herceptin / Taxol side effects
Hi
I am currently on my 6th round of Taxol weekly and 2nd round of Herceptin . I was wondering if anyone out there has side effects of this treatment and how they manage them. My bones ache most...
Hi Michelle, I've just finished Taxol 6 weeks ago and did my Herceptin no. 6 last week. With Herceptin I have no side effects and my heart scan results have come back clear. With Taxol I did get achy bones more so the legs. I did try Panadol Osteo which is a slow release. You do have to take it consistently though unlike normal Panadol.
Having said that I still get achy bones in my legs (not as bad previously)so sometimes I'm not sure if its the Taxol side effects still settling down or BC itself.
Best of luck with the second half of Taxol, regards Cheryle :)
