Re: IT Perjeta? For those with Brain and/or spine involvement

My daughter Susan was doing Perjeta IV for whole body treatment, but progressed. Some bone increase and more involved lymph nodes.
Doubt if this would then be of benefit intrathecally. She is now on the Kadcyla (tdm1). has had but two treatments so don't know yet what benefit she might get.
She has reached the stage with the Depocyt that it is monthly now and all other weeks she gets the Herceptin. She had some bad days battling chemical meningitis. but steroids and anti-nausea meds helped.
Some improvement in the spinal cord over all but a slight progression in the caudal area. Might need that radiated. Will do another MRI to help decide.
Glad Nina continues to do well. That also helps give us hope.
