Hi, I am hoping this works with addressing all of you at the same time. Here goes, I had DCIS, but with twist of invasive carcinoma mixed in 2025! So I am taking Exemestane, hormone blocker, and going thru infusions of Herceptin, ( hercussi). I also am allergic to a bunch of stuff and you guessed it, chemo and now Herceptin. So, I am taking Propel a water supplement to counteract the hormone blockers. It has electrolytes in it. This keeps the side effects down for me. Little to no side effects with this. Now, it's the stuff I am taking to counteract the allergic reaction that is bugging me! Grrr, just doesn't end! However, the first infusion went well without the Benadryl and steroids. Hopefully we all can figure out what is going on with each of us. We all have cancer but it's reacting differently in all of us!! Why haven't they found an answer in 30years??? Anyways, it's a obvious answer. But, we should start asking for cures, instead of remedies that just take care of the symptoms. But, it's better than the alternative!! You know your body best do you research, and ask alot of questions, you should get answers and perhaps some answers to your questions. And yes, sometimes I don't even no the right questions!! It's all temporary, really!

That’s certainly mind boggling that propel helps with your side effects! That’s something you don’t hear from an onco. When I first started with anastrozole, the recommendation from ladies here is to take Claritin for bone pain. It works for me but doesn’t help with finger stiffness. I don’t have lots of aches and pain from exemestane but the petechiea bothers me. You’re right we have to figure out what helps for ourselves. There’s no one size fits all. Thank you for reaching out.
