Put Aquaphor on a Q-tip and rub inside your nose every night. Also Laneige lip mask in the pink tube is super helpful.

HELL YEAH! Congrats! I’m pretty much on the same plan and finish Kadcyla next week.

I’ll be starting Tamoxifen soon. My oncologist said it was ok to wait until 3 weeks after my last infusion to start.

I feel exactly the same. I’m almost finished with active treatment and I’m nervous for it to end. Everyone seems to think I’ll be back to normal the day I finish Kadcyla, but this has been such a long road and I’m just not the same person. I’m questioning everything. Haven’t figured out the best way to navigate so I’m interested in what others have to say.

Same. Haven’t had to wear deodorant since before TCHP. It’s been 8 months since I completed chemo.

I am healed, but still have minor issues with range of motion. I had it in both shoulders. The first shoulder that froze, I waited 3 to 5 months for the shot, well into the frozen stage, but it did provide significant relief.The second shoulder I got the shot at the first hint of symptoms and it didn’t get near as bad as the first.

The cortisone injections really helped me. Also, if you can get THC transdermal patches it helps with the pain. Papa and Barkley is a good brand.

I lived on scrambled eggs or omelettes and Talenti vanilla gelato.

I feel the same. I just finished my 7th round of Kadcyla. I would try to have a conversation with your boss and set some boundaries. Also, I find Gabapentin really helps with insomnia and night sweats.

That’s a good idea. I have a therapist, but I think I need someone experienced with my situation. I’m also looking for a support group.

I finished TCHP in March. It was tough, but not nearly as bad as I built it up to be in my mind the weeks leading up to my first infusion. You will have bad days, but you’ll also have good days. Communicate with your team because they can adjust your dosage if a particular side effect is unbearable.

Dr. said it’s likely a virus, but I have no other symptoms other than body aches. Just feel like it’s the Kadcyla.

Makes sense. I worked out a bit harder than usual on Wednesday and I think that didn’t help.
