Re: PERJETA loading dose right now!

My daughter was given special access to Perjeta because of the Ommaya abscess and being on antibiotics. Her physician manged to do that for her as the infection treatment precluded the use of the taxanes. She was already on Herceptin IV (and IT because of the leptomeningeal mets). Also taking Tykerb.
Avastin did not work for her. Navelbine and Xeloda did not help much either.
Her tumor markers had climbed and are now down dramatically since the Perjeta infusions of just three treatments.
Good luck!
