Phesgo

Just wondering if anyone is on this drug for breast cancer? I’ve been having phesgo injections since December last year and I’m really suffering with chronic diarrhoea (tmi) lol can anyone relate to this. I’ve been given tablets but don’t really work that good. I’ve also got gallstones so was wondering if that cone be why I’m suffering as well xxx

  • I'm really sorry to hear about the diarrhoea you've been experiencing since you started your phesgo injections Lindsay. This must be very difficult to live with.

    As you can see on our website, this is a common side effect so hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    If you'd like to have a chat about this with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to help.

    If you haven't done so already, do be sure to let your cancer team know that the tablets aren't working as they may be able to provide you with something more effective.

    Kind regards,
