My onc is considering the addition of Kadcyla to my treatments.  I would appreciate any experience  re symptoms you have had with this drug.  Thanks, Peg

    hi Peg, sorry no one has come along to reply. The main side effects I have are fatigue and constipation. I've read that some other women experience low back pain. They are all very mild compared to the chemo drugs and your hair grows back!

    Hi Kite, thanks for your answer to my question re Kadcyla.  I am currently taking Herceptin and Faslodex.  If the next scan shows stability (would prefer some regression) but in the meantime "stable" is okay I guess.  Kadcyla has such a good reputation when coupled with Herceptin that it would be good to push treatment up a notch.  I hope that your se's are manageable for you.  Fatigue can be such a negative.  Good luck with it all!  Hugs, Peg
