Re: Just Herceptin and Perjeta - side effects
I've been on Herceptin and added Perjeta in January 2015. I've had lung mets since 2011, but it's just in the last three months that I'm coughing a lot and experiencing shortness of breath with mild exertion. PET/CT scan from Jan to March shows progression, so I am going to start Abraxane & see if that wacks back some of the lung tumors.I tolerate the Herceptin & Perjeta combo pretty well. I had a painful muscle spasm this morning in my foot/calf, not sure what that's about..... I'm waiting for treatment that works with immunotherapy as in a vaccine.
