Stay on top of your labs and check-ins. My doctor monitored my liver enzymes and electrolytes regularly. They caught a problem early and adjusted my meds.
Has anyone had issues with breathing problems? My mom is on Lapatinib, and she's been having some shortness of breath. Should we be worried?
Anyone else feel super tired all the time? It's like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.
I had a severe skin reaction when I started Lapatinib. I ended up in the ER and it was terrifying. If you notice anything unusual, like blisters or severe redness, get to a doctor ASAP.
