Low BP and more fluids
I had breast cancer 4 years ago+ Mastectomy, chemo and
Herceptin
. I now have moderate HF with low EF caused by treatment. I am being treated with Ramipril and Carvedilol. I have no symptoms. But now my BP tends to drop from time to time making me light headed.

Perjeta diarrhoea
I’m on cycle 2 of 6 Docetaxel Perjeta
Herceptin
combo and have had diarrhoea (5 or 6 episodes a day) every day since I began treatment with painful bowel cramps. I take loperamide to control it but haven’t finessed the right dose yet. Consequently I am housebound and distressed.

Reply to jersey-jazz. I thought you might also be interested in my medical history.
So, switched to Docetaxel plus
Herceptin
and Perjeta. Three months later, progression. She took out Docetaxel and added Exemestane because I want to try hormone therapy again and this drug is the only one I have never used.

I have LVF and am taking Ramipril and Carvedilol.
I had an EF of 35 after chemo and
Herceptin
and it is hoped it will improve in time. I saw a Cardiologist two years and it hadn’t and I haven’t seen him since then or had an echo understandably. I have no symptoms. Because of Covid dodging I’m about to take some Vit C and Zinc. Is that ok ?

Brain mets; what next? Is it hopeless?
Later, perhaps some drug which is better at passing into the brain than
herceptin
/perjeta. Anyway the outlook is not good. I only insisted on the CT scan of head and neck because I wanted to know what had happened to the tumours on my neck and skull (still there, apparently).

New diagnosis of metastasised breast cancer in lung.
In 2014 I had treatment for +++ ER stage 2 breast cancer including chemo, mastectomy, lymph clearance, radiation,
Herceptin
. Following pleurisy and a CT scan I’ve now been diagnosed with the same metastasised BC in my lung by the respiratory dept. I also have severe rib pain and numbness.

Any one Herceptin Perjeta long term?
I've been on both since December 2020. Initially, I had no side effects, now I do. Does it get better once the body is accustomed to these medications? Has anyone here passed the 5 years?

Side effects of Perjeta?
A year ago, I completed a 12-week regimen of Taxol,
Herceptin
, and Perjeta, which stopped my cancer. Since then, I've been on a maintenance routine of
Herceptin
and Perjeta.

Hello
The first 6 months, I went every week for taxol and every three weeks they added
herceptin
, perjeta and trial drug (tecentriq). After the first 6 months, I have been going every 3 weeks for the trio- cocktail. The first year, my liver was found clean of mets and the rest had shrunk 70%.

Herceptin
and 2 other systemic chemos, radiation and lumpectomy.

Update, MRI Brain
My recent abdomen/thorax CT also shows a bit of progression in the liver so the
herceptin
/perjeta infusions need to be switched.
