Dear Marsha and Lily,

Just wanted to say how happy I am for the two of you (and all of us) as this is such exciting news. I'm cheering for you both and so happy you were able to get into this trial. We are getting closer to that cure all the time!

Hugs to you both, Kim

5/1997 Hi Dose Chemo w/ Stem cell rescue. Spent 4 weeks in isolation ward. Then 6 weeks radiation.

9/2001 widespread mets to liver. 8 mos Taxotere/Herceptin brought me almost to NED. Stop Taxotere & add Femara .

11/2002 liver resection to remove spot that turned out to be necrosis. Officially NED!

7/2003 Tumor markers rising add Xeloda Disastrous reaction, 8 days hospital, but tumor markers came back to normal!

June -Dec 2004 UW Vaccine Trial.

7/2005 MRI single 11mm brain met
8/2005 Gamma Knife.

Brain MRI @3 months NED!

2006-2011 brain/body still NED

8/04/11 Taking Herceptin break, will monitor with tumor markers.

6/20/12 Tumor markers begin to rise. CA15-3 is 31.3 and Her2 Serum is at 17.1 Decide to repeat in one month.

7/23/12 CA15-3 now 49.3
Her2 Serum 26.8

8/6/12 Back on Herceptin
CA15-3 now 76
Her2 Serum now 49

11/7/12 Add weekly Taxotere for 4 cycles

2/2013 Stopped Taxotere added Perjeta. MRI shows approx. 50% reduction liver mets. CA15-3 still elevated @ 55. Will continue on just Herceptin & Perjeta.

November 2014 Continuing on Herceptin, Perjeta, and
Femara indefinitely. Guess I'm NED again, but watching those tumor markers carefully!

Dec. 2015 PET scan reveals mass in perirectal area of abdomen.biopsy confirms. Still Her2+, but no longer ER+. Bye bye Femara

Jan 2016 Begin Kadcyla

March 2016 PET scan shows tumor now barely visible, still NED everywhere else.
2016/2017 continue Kadcyla

November 2017 brain MRI reveals small focus of T2 hyperintensity with possible 4mm enhancing nodule. Short term follow up MRI suggested. Stay tuned...

Lily,
Thanks for posting your experience in such detail. I got a call yesterday from my NP re my week2 labs - I had the same thing happen with my liver enzymes way up from what is my "normal". I asked if I should be freaking out, and she said "Oh no, I did that for both of us...". She then ran to show the doctor who felt this was a reaction to the drug, and not unexpected. My platelets also crashed, which I had expected after looking at the phase I trial data.

So of course, after being told NOT to freak out, I spent the rest of the evening doing just that. Right up until I just read that you had the same thing happen....so thanks for posting that info!

Hi Lily,
I reread the study consent form and it does mention the platelets as well as "signs of liver problems" might be seen in lab results. I also have studied the poster presentation from San Antonio which has a very clear graph of the platelets plunging on day8 then recovering quickly. Not much specifically on the liver enzymes, tho.

I think the elevated liver enzymes is because your liver is working very hard to process this drug - and maybe also causing agitation for us because that is also a tumor location. I like to imagine that it is torturing those cancer cells.

I think what we WANT is for there to be optimum quantity of the drug available to kill cancer cells, AND for our systems to otherwise stay healthy. Your strategy of drinking lots of water seems wise.

liver enzymes

Hi Chrisy,
Don't worry about the elevated liver enzymes. This is a known side effect of the drug. If they get too high your oncologist will just hold the drug for a treatment. That might not be necessary for you if you are receiving the drug every three weeks. I'm sure you will find the drug very effective. I started in September and feel great. I also feel fortunate to be on it because it will probably be another two years before it is approved.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.

Dear Lily - thinking of you Sis - you hang in there - it will be interesting to hear what the oncologist's take on the results are - sometimes its better than what we think its going to be!

It's so hard not to worry eh? Hope the other folks have some more ideas about how the trial is going for you - I dont really understand a lot - just wish the best for you.

You are one beautiful - inspiring lady! Hang tough sis!
Lots of love
Blessings
