Re: Need optimism on TDM-1 please

I have been on Tdm1 w or wo pertuzumab since April. I had two breast lumps w mets to spine and sternum. My breast recurrence disappeared at the time of my first petct scan at eight weeks and the bone mets were much reduced. They still showed some activity but I had radiatiated them in january so the activity was likely related to that. As of November I was completely Ned.

Regarding side effects, I have been very tired as of the past six weeks. I also bruise easily. I have acquired telangiectasia ( little capillaries bursting) leaving red dots all over my chest and back and face. I've been told I'm the only one w this problem. I also have them in my nose and had two very bad bloody noses recently. Lastly, my nails have started breaking as of the past week - four nails in three days. Whole none of these side effects are very bad, the combination of them is wearing on me.
