Re: Stage IV. 3 years NED with Kadcyla/TDM1!
Michka I am so extremely elated for you! You give me hope! My onc is suggesting this as the next treatment and I am apprehensive because of the side effects. I am so underweight, though, that I can't start it yet but that's okay because I haven't had scans for awhile and I need to deal with one thing at a time like gaining weight.
Do you have the option of going back to Herceptin only?
Again, I'm so happy for you-you deserve this good news!
