Info / Advice - phesgo

Hi, I’m looking for some info / experience of being treated with the phesgo injection if possible!!  I’m about to have my 4th EC cycle before going onto 9 weekly cycles of another drug combined with 3wkly phesgo injections!! During my op follow up, I have since been diagnosed with CLL and thyroid cancer whilst currently undergoing preventative treatment for early breast cancer, so will never be considered cancer free and will need other treatments/ surgery down the line for the other issues.  I’m totally panicking about the potential side effects to my heart and wondering if it’s worth compromising that when there are other problems behind the scenes that can’t potentially be treated. If anyone has been in a similar situation, I would be grateful for any advice so I can prepare myself for what is to come! Thank you x

  • Hello soosief and welcome to the forum,

    If you haven't already, it might help to discuss this with your doctor as they will be able to give a better idea, but we have information about Phesgo or trastuzumab and pertuzumab on our website, including how they work and the possible sides effects. There are many more advice pages on our website, which you can refer to at anytime to help you stay informed and prepared. We also have a team of cancer nurses available on the free helpline 0808 800 4040. If you'd like to speak to them about anything, the lines from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    Wishing you all the best,
