Enhertu side effects

I am old and live alone and am terrified of the debilitating effects of side effects from this chemo drug. I would like to hear people’s experiences.

  • Hello ragga

    I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so worried about the possible side effects of the treatment that has been recommended to you. 

    We have some information about Enhertu on our website including possible side effects but it's important to remember that not everyone experiences all of these and people do react differently to treatments. There are quite a few posts where people have mentioned having this treatment. You can read some of those posts by using the forum search function at the top of the page to look for the term "enhertu". 

    Please speak to your care team about your concerns Ragga. Hopefully, they will be able to offer you some reassurance about your options and talk to you about what support can be put in place should you need it. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can. 

    Whatever decision you make Ragga, I hope that you feel supported by the people around you. Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
