This trial suggests that enhertu may be a fantastic drug for those with specific types of mbc.

My oncologist mentioned this was a very successful drug as it can cross the blood/brain barrier. Though it comes with side effects which are harsher than those from kadcyla which I'm currently taking.

My oncologist is mentioning Kadcyla as my next treatment , how are you finding the side effects ? Luann

[Andersl in reply to Thatflowerlady]

Not a problem. I feel more tired a few days after chemo and my muscles are a bit stiff. That's all. No hair loss or sickness/nausea.

[Thatflowerlady in reply to Andersl]

That sounds doable . Thank you

Thanks for posting! I saw this news too and it seems very encouraging. Especially since the drug is already on the market, approved for narrower use, so it’s just a question of expanding the regulatory approval rather than waiting years for trials etc.

For me this is one more reminder that the longer I can hang on, the more treatments will become available.

Perhaps I’m daft- lol - but I get confused with the terminology HER2- positive. It’s used often in this article. I’m ER/PR + (estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor positive) and Her2- (Her2 negative). What on earth is Her2- positive mean? I’m on Piqray and it’s cleaning up my cancer like a maid on steriods !!
