How will Herceptin and Perjeta affect my work as a full-time mom?
Community Member
3 years agoI’m concerned with the length of my treatment plan?! I am a full time working mom. Talk to me about Herceptin & Perjeta side effects. Will I still be able to work?
Accepted Answer
Balancing treatment and work responsibilities is a common concern for many in this community. Side effects from HER2+ targeted therapies can vary significantly from person to person - some people continue working with minimal disruption while others may need to adjust their schedules or take time off. Many working parents find it helpful to discuss flexible arrangements with their employer and connect with others here who have navigated similar situations with their careers and family responsibilities.
