Evening beautiful people!
After some advice please...
I've been on 3 weekly perjeta and herceptin for almost 3 years after diagnosis with mets in 2016, and everything has been going great. Unfortunately, recent scans showed some enlarged lymph nodes, and my onc is keen to attack swiftly. She has recommended that I change to Kadcyla as soon as possible.
My concern is that I live 2 hours drive from my treatment centre, work full time and raise my daughter (8) on my own. At present I drop her at school and drive over for treatment, then drive myself home after.
How do others on Kadcyla find the treatment? It contains chemo drugs, so will I be able to drive myself home? This treatment will continue indefinitely, so will working full time be sustainable?
All thoughts and opinions greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Jen xx
