hi everyone , my mother has stage 4 breast cancer that has spread to the bones and liver. The doctor started abraxane (weekly) with herceptin/perjeta (every three weeks) treatment. Any advice regarding this? How to tolerate the side effects? She's been on 1 dose now but she's been having stomach issues (diarrhea, stomachache) also fatigue (little bit). Could you please advise us on how to manage? Also if she feels weak, is it okay to skip one dose to give her body a break?
