Intrathecal Herceptin Is Working!
Just got the call from my oncologist that, after only two treatments of intrathecal Herceptin over the past 5 weeks, all four of my new brain mets have shrunk and there are no new ones! IT IS WORKING!!!!
We are going to continue with the once monthly treatments and will probably scan again in another 6 weeks to see where we are at. Looks like I get to dodge the whole brain radiation bullet once again. Thank you GOD!!!! |

Hi Courtney,
Wow...now this is some very fantastic news! I am so happy for you. You are a true trailblazer for this dreaded disease. I'm especially excited that you have had such great results and so quickly! :) The fact that you can avoid radiation is another major plus. I think I will now do that happy dance. Woo hoo you go girl. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks so much for the update...it's put a smile on my face. Chelee |

Re: Intrathecal Herceptin Is Working!
Dear Courtney
Great news!! I wanted to hear good results from you because I did suspect this might work for you because you responded so well to Herceptin in your body. Since this method is the only way to get Herceptin into the brain, I was very hopeful this would work for you. You are very brave and are also a pioneer - leading the way for others and a true warrior. I admire your tenacity at leaving no stone unturned. |
