PICC Line
I also had another infusion done last week using the PICC line for my Herceptin &
Perjeta
- I asked the Infusion nurses if they thought they can find my veins without the PICC line, they weren't really sure, but I am going to have it removed as I find it uncomfortable, it makes me nervous another infection

One thing after another
My Oncologist team is aware of this situation, and now want to continue my infusions via my veins (I still need to finish the Herceptin and
Perjeta
regime till Oct).

Hair, will it regrow or won't it
I'm up to round 29 in a few days for Herceptin and
Perjeta
. My hair has come back in, but very thin, (use to be very thick and curly/wavy) and as if there are fewer follicles in play. Is this my lot now, or will it get better over time? I know everyone is different.

Latest Update - Post Surgery during Pandemic
I spoke with my Oncologist and they have taken me off the
Perjeta
to see if that lessens the symptoms. I also lather moisturizers on my feet which helps as well for the cracking, but not sure what I can do about the numbness and tingling feel - any suggestions?

The Other Breast
I’ve been on herceptin and
perjeta
for her2+ and it’s been under control. Well last night my left breast started hurting and I thought I felt something. This morning I’m not sure because if it is it’s really close to the nipple. Have any of y’all had it spread from one breast to the other?

New treatment
First round went well- Herceptin/
perjeta
. My onc is doing all he can to prevent reaction. He split drugs and ordered long infusions. It was torture- I was there from 11am to 5:30. I understand though and that’s why I have stayed with him 10 years since first bc round.

More meds
I have been struggling with side effects from Herceptin/
perjeta
infusions. Last few days I was getting short of breath. I have asthma so took inhaler. No relief. I asked my Pcp to do echo and went in today for it and then saw him.

Survivor guilt
She was advised 6 cycles of taxol+carboplatin + herceptin +
Perjeta
, followed by herceptin and
perjeta
until progression. But, as she didn’t have insurance, she refused to take this treatment, primarily due to the cost involved, approx Rs.3,50,000 ($6000) per cycle.

5 years still here
I still get infusions every 21 days of herceptin and
perjeta
but they are keeping me here in this life. My scan earlier this month was clear and my echocardiogram was normal. Had my last medical appointment for 2018 last week, woohoo!
