Hi Colleen, I'm Chrissoula and I was diagnosed with HER2+ last year, stage 3A. I had mastectomy & lympectomy (21 removed - 9 affected) and chemotherapy (TCHP) from 24/11/2021 till 22/4/2022 (weekly), then I had radiation for 25 sessions and now continuing with immunotherapy (Paclitaxel - Herceptin) till it's a full year since I begun. I'm having hiccups but I'm not sure when it started. I think it has started after I've finished radiation, mid June, though I think I had before but not so frequently. But then when I had chemo and with radiation I didn't eat really much, mostly I drank soups, hot tea and soft food easy to swallow, that's why I lost 15 kgr! That's one good think that happened, 'cause I really wanted to lose them for a long time!!! It starts with the first bite that comes in my mouth. I thought that I was eating fast, so I tried to eat slower but it doesn't work, I still get the hiccups. It is not so bothering since it stops after a while, but I thought it was strange because I didn't have hiccups so frequently before!

Hi Chris, thank goodness that your hiccups stop after a while. Do they only happen when you eat? Are there particular foods that trigger the hiccups?
