MRI of this week:
Carol is still NED even now that she is no longer doing IT herceptin for last 8 months.
Seems that damage done with the stroke has opened the BBB for IV herceptin to pass through. She is only taking 6mg per kilo IV herceptin and nothing else. No signs of fits for the past 7 months.
Stroke is clearing but still some old hemorrhage can be seen in it.
She still has quite a good quality of life, but still exercising to start walking again.
