I've recently begun treatment with Kanjinti (the biosimilar version of Herceptin) for my HER2-positive breast cancer. I'm having my first infusion this week and I'm feeling a mix of hope and anxiety. I want to manage my expectations and be prepared for the potential side effects. I've read about possible symptoms like fever, chills, and nausea, but I'm wondering if anyone has experienced more unusual side effects, or if there are some great tips for managing them. Do you do anything special on infusion days? Based on your experience, what advice do you have for coping with potential side effects, and how did you manage some of the common symptoms?
