MRI and CT of today - shock!

3 new lesions can be seen for the first time in over 2 years, 7mm, and 2 others of 4mm.

We have been on IV herceptin 6mg/kg for past 21 months. Now back to problems!

I would like to ask anyone of what can be done except IT herceptin, anyone is doing IT pertuzumab yet?
Does TDM1 work for the brain?
