    I’m triple negative breast cancer with mets to the brain (twice) and neck tumors, had surgeries to take care of that, brain radiation (twice) and now I’m on abraxane and an immunotherapy.

    Just finished one session of Herceptin and Abraxane and one session of Abraxane. I developed hives/rashes on my wrist, shoulder, neck and back. Went to see dermatologist prescribed claritin and triamcinolone. Itches continues. Anyone else experience this?

    Completed my 10th treatment. 3 weeks on 1 week off. Mild side effects including hair loss, fatigue, metallic taste, constipation week of treatment which I use Merrulax for. Stool softners were not effective. Good nutrition and hydrating is very important. Cancer markers have all decreased and recent PET scan showed significant improvement.

    I received about 6 months of treatment; mostly 3 Fridays in a row and 1 week off. I have now started to experience some numbness and pain in my fingertips and toes. A CT scan now shows that lesions in the liver have increased in size and a couple new ones; other areas stable. So I will be switching to eribulin.
