Chemo TDM1 round 2

Last Friday I had my second dose of TDM1. It was another day of doubling up on treatments with radiation in the morning and chemo in the afternoon, I was tapped out by dinner time. Scotty had a meeting so my mom tagged along for this one.

The medicine did not bring out any adverse reactions during my last infusion so I was able to have the medicine given over 30 minutes instead of 3 hours. I can’t decide which is better. When the medicine is slower I feel like I have less reactions to it. This could be in my head but I feel more sick after receiving the medicine quicker.

Overall the side effects have been the same; nausea, constipation, exhaustion, lack of energy, severe headaches, and no appetite.I guess I am starting to accept feeling like this as my new normal.
