Trodelvy - any info to share?
Hi, I am reaching out to see if anyone else has commenced Trodelvy chemotherapy and if yes, what are your side effects experiences. I am only in 1st cycle, 2 weeks on/1 week off. Main reaction has ...
Hi all, I wanted to share my latest info. I have been on Trodelvy since mid Jan 2022 - had 4 cycles (8 infusions in total). The side effects are getting much more manageable, at least for me. I still have a bit of bloating and constipation but only the few days after the infusion - I have reduced most of my pre-meds, which seemed to be making either my constipation or my fatigue worse. I can highly recommend asking your oncologist about that; don't just take what they give you.
And this drug is a 'game changer' for me. I just had pet scan last week and my 5 tumours and now inactive! Such amazing and quick results.
So I encourage all to either a) try to get on Trodelvy if you have TNBC, and if you have started: b) to stick with it. I'm happy to answer any other questions. I feel incredibly lucky and blessed.
PS - will do 4 more infusions and then have a break for 6+ months whilst I travel overseas.
