Taxotere, Herceptin, Perjeta

kaufmanscsi

Hi all. Sort of new here. I was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago with mets to liver (had mets to bone 8 years ago and then scans were clean for years...how about that for sucking, immensely?) Anyway, just had my first treatment of Taxotere/herceptin/perjeta. Feeling kind of crappy...like a flu all the time. Tired, stomach upset, achy and of course, totally bummed out. This is day 4 post-infusion. I am looking for words of hope - that I will feel better soon. I can't imagine feeling this way for the whole 6 cycles. Does it get better? I just want to know I will have a some good days/weeks in between treatments. I am taking advil, Claritin (for bone aches from Neulasta) and probiotics. I am trying to get outside each day. Basically I want to lie in bed, though. Give me some hope, please!
