Drink plenty of water before and after any infusion.

I've had 3 rounds of so far, and I've found that it makes me tired, with no energy and loss of appetite. But that's me. I go tomorrow for round 4, so we'll see if it gets any better.

Do you feel any better on your break ?

I’ve been on Trodelvy for approximately seven months. I didn’t experience any side effects the first couple of infusions, however, I did get severe diarrhea after my third and fourth infusion. Over-the-counter and prescription diarrhea medicine did not make much of an impact. It was so bad in fact that I had to take a two week break from treatment and had a dose reduction. My side effects virtually went away after I resumed treatment on the reduced dosage.
