Just wanted to say hi and let you know you're in my thoughts Sheila!:)

Re: INFUSING Perjeta as we speak!!! I am blessed
 

Congratulations! Sheila. Wondered if you are the first one getting Pertuzumab (= Perjeta.)

Re: INFUSING Perjeta as we speak!!! I am blessed
 

This is amazing news i'll kep my finger crossed that it wil bring you to ned or at least stables for years to come well done again Ms Pioneer!

Re: INFUSING Perjeta as we speak!!! I am blessed
 

Never doubted you would be blazing yet another trail!!

You go, Sheila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: INFUSING Perjeta as we speak!!! I am blessed
 

So what is your new treatment plan? How many rounds, how often, and has your herceptin dosage/schedule been adjusted? Is neutropenia an issue as it is with taxotere? I'm very hopeful, if needed after August scan, this may be an option.

Re: INFUSING Perjeta as we speak!!! I am blessed
 

That is absolutely wonderful news! Hope it gives you spectacular results. Keeping you in thoughts and prayers.

All I can say is YAY! PBs are on the way! (hehe)

Re: INFUSING Perjeta as we speak!!! I am blessed
 

I am so happy that you didn't have to wait for this new drug. What an amazing medical team you have in your corner. I hope and pray that this really does the trick for you Shelia!

Re: INFUSING Perjeta as we speak!!! I am blessed
 

Hi Sheila,
I was so worried for you and overjoyed when I read your post. I was in the car in Michigan where I was visiting my mom at the time. You have been in my thoughts and I really hope that Perjeta works for you. I will never forget how helpful you were to me when I was trying to get my insurance to accept the Herceptin/ Tykerb combination. Best wishes to you and your family during this holiday week.
Kind regards,
Barbara H.

Oh Shelia,

This is the first time I have seen your post. You have given me Hope again. I have to get my doctor to resend my information to my insurance health nurse along with a letter for off label use.

Has the medicine helped? My HER2 level is 195.5. I really need this medicine. Are you taking the medicine with chemo and Herceptin?

Dear Shelia,
I just read your posting - I am weeks behind .....
but I was so very happy to read it. You have always been a trend setting that's for sure.
I am sending you my best prayers and wishes.

Huge Hugs,
Jean

Amelia, since I have only had one infusion, it is too early to tell, I actually don't see any improvement yet, so I am hoping for a big change after the next infusion that will be with Herceptin next week. I am not getting it with chemo, butmmaynask the onc. To add it in.....so far no side effects. sending prayers that this will be given to all who need it, and that it will be a successful treatment for those of us who are running out of options.

A limerick for Sheila
 

There once was a lady named Sheila
Who was a wonderful healr’
To say she has a big heart
Is only the start -

Because her great traits go on and on

She shows us all how it’s done
And oh how we’ll cheer when this battle is won

For now we send prayers, wishes and cheers
And plan to celebrate with her for dozens of years

Sheila, you are so brave and terrific and strong
That you got sick is so very wrong
And I know right now you are glad you don’t have to hear me singing this like a song…

Okay, okay...sorry. I just wanted to come up with a unique way to say what we all are saying and feeling. Yeah for this new regime which is the winner!! Praying hard for the great news that I know you will be sharing with us soon.

I have been in Northern Michigan and so out of touch. But you are always in my heart.

Love,
Maureen
