I recently started using Kanjinti 420mg Injection for my HER2-positive breast cancer treatment. It's been a roller coaster of emotions and physical challenges, but I'm hopeful this treatment will be effective. I was surprised to learn that Kanjinti is a biosimilar to Herceptin, which has been used for years. I was not familiar with the term biosimilar, but it seems to be a similar drug to what I was hoping for. I'm curious to know if anyone else has used Kanjinti and what their experience has been like. I've had a few side effects, including some muscle pain and nausea, but nothing too severe yet. However, I'm a bit concerned about the potential for serious side effects like infection or allergic reactions. I've been monitoring my symptoms closely and have an on-call doctor if anything alarming happens. I want to know from others with some experience if the side effects are pretty common or if I'm just unlucky. I've been doing a lot of reading on tumor lysis syndrome too, as it seems very concerning. Better safe than sorry.
