Kanjinti Side Effects?

Side Effect of kanjinti or just a bug?

Week one - Taxol/Kanjinti - anaphylactic reaction too severe to continue Taxol so Taxol was discontinued. Bad recovery but by Day 5 was back to normal.

Week two - received just Kanjinti but the lowered weekly dosage not the full 3 week dose. No issues

Week three - no more taxol, to risky for me so moved to Kanjinit solo at full 3 week dose, administered over 90 minutes with benadryl, steroid and pepcid. Day 3 of that very emotional and just out of it. Day 4 felt normal. Day 5 extreme diarrhea and vomiting - treated with meds - Day 6 felt normal. Now Day 7 woke up and diarrhea is back.

Nurse at MO thinks it is just a bug because I am too far out from infusion for it to be a side effect of the kanjiniti. Anyone else doing Kanjinti or even Herceptin have side effects after a week? Everyone says herceptin/kanjinti is supposed to be easy but the weekly taxol was supposed to be chemo light and it was anything but for me.

hi Rlmessy,

I’ve been on only kanjinti for a few months. For the most part it’s been ok. I’ve had some muscle/Joint pains and usually tiredness the first feed days. However this month I broke out in a rash all over the trunk of my body.
