Herceptin

Paclitaxel, Herceptin & Perjeta have quit working . Tips please for Kadcyla , what have you experienced ?
Has anyone made this switch after Paclitaxel,
herceptin

Anyone on Kadcyla after chemo and having side effects?
After 6 rounds of chemo I was on the
Herceptin
and Projeta cocktail for 4 cycles when my doc suggested we switch to Kadcyla which was showing better long term results for killing any cells with my type of breast cancer.

Monoclonal antibodies
I have been been on the following metastatic antibodies for 4 years: Perjeta (pertuzumab) and
herceptin
(trasruzumab) every three weeks They are keeping my stage 4 Mets in remission. My oncologist said that many people go off of that regiment after 4 years.

Radiotherapy to the chest.
Chemo isn't working (progression on Carboplatin and
Herceptin
so stopped that now). We are are being told to stop chemo for a bit but we know there is nothing controlling the liver and spleen, even if we are trying to stop the central area of the chest and brain.

Mixed response to treatment , not the results I was expecting from Paclitaxel,perjeta & herceptin.
Hi ladies I hope everyone is enjoying a pleasant weekend . I talked with my oncologist yesterday afternoon about my recent Ct & bone scans , these were the 1 year scans since my last Paclitaxel treatment . It appears that the treatment stabilized the lung nodules and the liver Mets But my bone Mets are

New treatment coming our way!
Our UK Onc is now suggesting
Herceptin
and Carboplatin. I'm interested as it's not a suggested "line" of treatment and the
Herceptin
seems to be directed at her newly discovered HER2 positive status.

Carboplatin, rough for you or not?
My beautiful wife is only 39, her cancer started to progress on Capecitabine so we have just started (second cycle) if IV Carboplatin and
Herceptin
injection. She had her first infusion after a big event, surgical procedure and a three week spell in bed so it was difficult to gauge the results.

EF effect with Herceptin
Any of you ladies on
Herceptin
/ Perjeta have had your EF ( Ejection fraction) declined more than 10 points? If so, do you see a cardiologist and what's your treatment? Thanks

Breast Cancer Research for Chemotherapy Induced Cognitive Changes!!!
I was diagnosed in 2019 with DCIS and underwent 6 rounds of TCHP chemotherapy and additional rounds of
Herceptin
treatment. I also underwent a double mastectomy with reconstruction in 2020. I am now taking tamoxifen for hormonal control.

Newbie on the site - Breast Cancer IDC & HER2
I had the lumpectomy and node biopsy late January and had my first weekly chemo last week (Taxol weekly +
Herceptin
every 3 weeks). Is anyone else on the same treatment plan? I’m curious if you found that side effects worsened with each treatment?

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.
