Hi 

Just looking at a few posts and thought I could add my diagnosis and experience so far. I was diagnosed in February with breast cancer grade 3 and HER2 positive .I started my treatment at end of march for my first chemo and have now 4 more to complete with one targeted injection 3 weeks apart. I won't lie the side effects aren't nice but I'm getting through with good family and friends supporting me. If anyone wants to ask anything I'm more than happy to help where possible.  At the moment my worst symptom is nausea and chronic heartburn. Got Gaviscon to help but wondered if anyone had any dietary advice or anything to help with the nausea. We can get through this girls and nice to talk with those who can empathise too.

Hi Marilynjane,

I had my first EC infusion on 20th April and suffered with awful heartburn and nausea from 6-24hrs. The helpline suggested getting Esomeprazol which is one tablet a day and this helped control it. There are others you can get on prescription. I'll be going straight to this before any symptoms appear for the second infusion. 

Thanks for the advice will consult my GP for Esomeprosole before my next treatment.
