I think peritoneal carcinoma refers just to site of some mets. ascites is fluid related to cancers impact on liver. general cancer / medical terms. but the cancer is her2 , right ? so these her2 mets have progressed on taxanes like abraxane in past, and now on tyk/xel. Lorraines and many others have also. L. had mets in and all around liver. wiped out by kadcyla. lani's post talks about kadcyla and perjeta together being even better.that is latest , may not be an approved combo yet . kadcyla at least is the best appr. tx for aggressive metastatic her2
this slow fda needs a swift kick. every call all stage ivs can make to their Congressional reps about denial of perjeta to stage iv can't hurt.
