Re: perjeta with gemzar?
Hi Ann,
I am on Perjeta and Herceptin. Perjeta's pamphlet will advocate for Perjeta, Herception, and Tax to be prescribed together and usually for those who have not been heavily treated. That "first line" thing. Nonetheless, my oncologist prescribed Perjeta with the Herceptin and my liver spot shrunk from .9 mm in August to .6 mm in October. I have a scan this week so we shall see if that thing is gone, stable, or grown bigger. I have not heard of Perjeta prescribed with Gemzar. If you can get Perjeta now that would be great. Darlene Gant was a woman who utubed herself to get this drug before it was available and I believe she is still around. That was a year ago. Good luck to you. By the way, you are an amazing writer.
Take care,
Jackie
