Hi @Brondocs, I am so sorry to hear of your long ordeal with Trodelvy. 31st dose . . . I can't even begin to imagine. I guess I have just done my 18th dose. I did 6 cycles last year (Jan - Apr), which is 12 doses, and have just completed 3 cycles, and will have another 3 cycles before we scan and see what's going on. I feel like one of the lucky ones (if there is such a thing!) in that I am able to stay on full dose, and my side effects are manageable. I mainly get constipation; a bit of fatigue after the dexamethosone wears off; and I have lost all of my hair. I honestly don't know how you have managed through the 31 doses -- well done, but it does sound like you are having a very tough time of it.
My stomach tumours do give me some grief/ severe stomach cramps, if I irritate them with the wrong food. We have been trial and error with my diet to try to manage and keep the inflammation down. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Trodelvy is working its magic, and that come the end of April - I will be able to take a break.
Sending your some strength and hope Brondocs, . . . and anyone else who is on Trodelvy and/or dealing with the ups & downs of MBC. xx
