TDM-1. How quickly did it show it was working

[Nancy L]

I have some difficult decisions to make next week---Wait to see if I get approved for th3resa which will take at least a month or start a chemo???? And i may not get tdm-1--- need to factor that in too.

how soon after you started TDM-1 did they know if it was working? Were you feeling ill when you started TDM-1. My biggest problems are breathlessness and difficulty swallowing. I am dropping weight quickly. I have one more week of rads to reduce supraclavical tumor pressing on brachial plexus. The pain is intense. Had numerous scans and this is ths only tumor they can find but I don't believe it.

I am corresponding with Sheila because our journey's have similar twists---neck nodes and vocal cord paralysis. Sheila had good success with eribiulan. Anyone else have experience with this chemo for stage iv BC?

Anyone else faced with a similar decision--all feedback welcome.

Thanks for listening
