Hi. I was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer on April 1, 2014. I was on Kadcyla for 22 months before it stopped working. I am currently taking Tykerb and Xeloda chemo pills. I have been on those since October 2016. I just got my 3 month CT Scan results December 23 and it showed no active cancer. It made for a wonderful Christmas. Praying for all of us.

The only side effect that I had on Kadcyla was a pretty strong headache 3 days after treatment. I had my chemo on Wednesday so usually on Saturday I would get a bad headache. Didn't have much fatigue. It was wonderful for me.
