Hi, I'm so glad I found this forum, I'm 34 years old just had surgery and now been told I need 13 rounds of kadcyla, can anyone help with side effects like hair loss I can't find much info thank you x
So sorry that you are going through this but if its any consolation, I've been on Kadcyla since November 20 and will be having my 25th dose next Thursday. I haven't experienced any hair loss/issues whilst on it but I have had horrible neuropathy in my feet, which I've managed to sort out by taking Pregabalin tablets. The down side is that I've put on weight but that could be because I'm a woman of a certain age and menopausal! I have every thing crossed for you - it really is a wonder drug and has been a life saver (literally) for me. Best wishes
Thank you for your kind reply you have put me a little at ease about the hair loss situation, apart from your feet did you have any other side effects after each treatment? X
My fingernails are very weak and I feel quite tired immediately after treatment but otherwise it's all good. Best wishes for it all and let me how it goes. Do ask if you have any more questions x
