Re: Treatment after Kadcyla?
Juls;
I posted about the treatment I am on now. Ibrance and Letrozole. It is used for ER/PR+ her2- but I found a woman who is on this drug and she said her oncologist told her that it targets the hormone side and there is no reason that it wouldn't work for Her2+'s. Apparently they are running trials now on Her2+'s. I am just finishing my 2nd cycle (pill form) and won't know the results (other than my TM CA125) until scans are run mid July. This is definitely a treatment option for you. Lauren who is Her2+ is on a similar cycle to me so no results yet but I will be checking with her in July and posting her results.
