Perjeta 420mg/14ml, Inj: My Experience and Side Effects

I've experienced mouth sores during my treatment. It was incredibly painful, and I had trouble eating. The doctor prescribed a medicated mouthwash and some painkillers, which helped, but it was a rough few weeks.

I've been on Perjeta for a few months now, and it's been a tough journey. The infusion process is straightforward, but the side effects can be brutal. I've been lucky not to have any of the urgent side effects, but the fatigue and weakness are real. My doctor suggested some lifestyle changes to help manage these, like a balanced diet and regular low-impact exercise, but sometimes I just want to sleep all day. Has anyone else found any coping mechanisms that help?

I’ve been worried about infections. Is anyone else having any issues like that? Just want to be prepared if it happens.

This thread is so important. The more we talk about these issues, the better we can prepare for them. Thanks for sharing your stories and tips. Keep fighting, everyone.

Hang in there! I've heard great things about Perjeta's effectiveness, so hopefully, it's working well for you. I've had a friend who had a similar experience with it. Make sure to talk to your doctor about any side effects you're experiencing. They might be able to adjust your dosage or prescribe something to help mitigate them.

I was on Perjeta for a year, and while it was tough, I'm glad I stuck with it. The infusion process wasn't bad, just a few hours every few weeks. The worst part was the tumor lysis syndrome symptoms. It was terrifying at first, but my doctor knew exactly what to do. I had to stay in the hospital for a few days for IV fluids and close monitoring, but I made it through. Now, a year post-treatment, I'm feeling better than ever. Take it one day at a time, and remember that your body is fighting a battle every day.
