Many people find that different treatments can affect them in unexpected ways, and nausea responses can definitely vary between treatment types. It's helpful when community members share these experiences since it lets others know they're not alone in having different reactions. Hopefully others in the HER2+ community will chime in with their own experiences to help you feel more prepared for what's ahead.

Yes. I experience more nausea and diarrhea. Ginger chews and lomotil have been my best friend.

Ginger chews are a lifesaver. So far the nausea was just during the infusion. Now the diarrhea has been the one that has gotten me. Thanks for the BRAT diet. I would much rather have this than the nausea and vomiting.

I have been blessed with the nausea being controlled with my RSO. Keeps my appetite up, pain and nausea down.
