T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
Hi, all,
The results of PET and CT scans done Wednesday show no evidence of any disease whatsoever. Clean, clean, clean! Thanks for your continued support and care, Love, Karen |
Re: T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
Magic has happened. Your case is the ones that the Genentech people love to hear about, as well as the rest of us in the pharmaceutical business.TDM-1 and Pertuzumab together is going to make some big changes in HER+. The goal is to test early to make sure the disease does not progress. How long are you going to be allowed to stay on the meds? NED is your friend.

Re: T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
Thanks, all--behind the scenes, I am trying, with the help of advocates, to get the ball rolling on approval of T-DM1 and make sure those who need Pertuzumab get it, without restriction. (I have heard there is a possible December approval date of T-DM1-which is not soon enough).
Rolepaul, there is no end. I take the drug for however long it works. How far off is a vaccine or new HER2 smart bomb, do you think? Karen |

KDR,
Thanks so much for sharing your amazing story. I just learned my tumor markers are again up from 107 to 129 on Herceptin, Tykerb and femara- and after just getting my ovaries out. My oncologist talked last month about putting me on TDM1 and hopefully eventually pertuzumab too. I am so hopeful to get that chance. I really want to be brave and not break down crying (again)- but this roller coaster sucks. |
Re: T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
That's what I'm talking about!!!

Re: T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
Kristin,
I hope you get the T-DM1. Try for any trial you qualify for. I will be thinking of you. Karen |

Re: T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
OOOooop, hold on...
Just saw the oncologist and the scans are clear, but due to a two-point rise in my markers a few weeks ago, she's ordered a brain MRI. If the blood test drawn today goes up, then I have to do the MRI-if it went back down the two points, I can cancel the test. That's one thing about this regimen: it doesn't include the brain. Will know by day's end. I guess that's what trials are all about. Never a dull moment around here. Warmly, Karen |
Re: T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
Hoping you will not have to do the MRI.
And congratulations on your scan results! Very good news. |
Re: T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
Awesome news! Wishing you continued NED status....
|
Re: T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
Good news on the scans, Karen.
With disease so well controlled elsewhere, I'm expecting to hear soon that you are also a Ned head. |
Re: T-DM1 & Pertuzumab: Still NED
Thanks be to God! So happy for you!
