On taxol and herceptin weekly 12 rounds, feel so tired and lots of pains ribs Chest etci this normal
I agree with @A MyBCTeam Member. I finished 6 rounds of TCHP on 1/17. Had my fist Herceptin and Perjeta on the 7th. I thought all of that would go away once the Taxol and Carboplatin was done but I do still get some pain in my ribs and chest area. I'm almost 1 week out from the first of the targeted and the pain, although mild, seemed to last about 4 days.
@A MyBCTeam Member, the taxol really took it out of me, but I was able to work for the most part. I had infusions on Thursdays and found that I could be back to work on Tuesday or Wednesday. The last 2 really took it out of me and I had to work from home for the entire week following my infusion because of the fatigue.

Hi Just wondering how you are doing now I am doing my 7th Taxol and Herceptin on Tuesday it is weekly for me. Did you feel worse as the weekly treatments went on. I felt so tired this week no energy and lots of nausea. I am hoping this week won't be the case for the next 6 weeks! Thank you
Had my last Taxol Jan 25th, first solo Herceptin on Feb 1st & just can’t get over this fatigue...hoping it’s just the weather!
