I recently started taking Phesgo for HER2-positive breast cancer and wanted to share my experience and learn from others. It's been a few weeks since my first injection, and while I'm hoping it helps, I've had some side effects that are concerning. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? IIt's been a few weeks since my first injection of Phesgo. I’m hopeful it helps, but I’ve had some issues that are concerning. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I want to document how I'm feeling and compare notes with others who might have insights or advice. I’ve heard about the potential for serious side effects, like infections or electrolyte problems, and while I hope I won’t experience any of those, it’s hard not to worry. Where can I find more reliable, up-to-date information about these risks? I might be doing this wrong but I have not felt any changes except for a small irritation at the injection site. Phesgo is a combination of three medications, pertuzumab and trastuzumab with hyaluronidase added to help with absorption under the skin. I have to admit I’m a bit nervous about the potential side effects, especially the serious ones like allergic reactions or tumor lysis syndrome. Has anyone had any of these severe side effects, and if so, how were they managed? It’s a lot to take in, and I’m trying to stay optimistic.
