Hi,

My wife is in her 30's with stage IV to her liver that was treated successfully with Taxol/H/P last summer. The last few months she's been suffering with the above and has only been told it's from the perjeta. It's bad to the point where she has trouble eating many days and is constantly running to the bathroom.

Is this normal?

Are there any food that you've found are good to avoid or have more of?

Thanks!

    Perjeta is often referred to a poo-jeta due to digestive issues. I can’t really recommend anything as I don’t have those SE’s but over the counter meds like Imodium can help. If it too severe, I have heard of Perjeta being dropped in favor of Herceptin only. Also, you may want to check out the herceptin/Perjeta thread for more info. Good luck!
