For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "I had a response/reaction during the first dose that required stopping infusion halfway through. Emergency team came. Received rescue medication and evaluation in the ER. Ruled out cardiac event. Went home okay. Side effects included: profound fatigue, nausea, dizziness, malaise, mouth and nose sores, persistent bad taste, indigestion. By day 12, felt better and was able to do short walks, light social activities, sewing, light gardening, etc. Side effects above persisted but less. Second infusion 21 days later. Received full dose but given at slower rate (over three hours). Tolerated well. Side effects so far (day 0-7) post-infusion are heavier. Extreme exhaustion. Difficult to be out of bed. Nausea, bad taste, indigestion. Vertigo, dizziness, malaise."

For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "Had 2 treatments with Enhertu. The side effects were bad and did not go away for a long time: dizziness, jitteriness in the entire body, fatigue, weakness, diarrhea, sick stomach, felt unwell all over and inside the body. Never, never would have another treatment with Enhertu!!"
