Re: Any good chemos I could try?
The new drug is "ZW25." the trial is just opening at UC Health in Aurora (just east of Denver.)
My onc looked in to other HER2 drugs in development. None are doing compassionate use.

Re: Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!
I had foot cramps, runny nose, nose bleeds. No weight gain. I'm about to go back on just H&P, since chemo seems to do more harm than good.

Pam--I hope it goes well. I always thought I'd have more time.
The investigational drug is Z125, by a company called Zymeworks.

Re: Any good chemos I could try?

Thank you, Traci and Juls. And sorry I've been away.
The brain tumors and/or radiation, plus numb fingers, make it hard for me to see and type. I can read now, though!
I'm not getting very good...

I've been in treatment since May, 2011. The last combo--Herceptin and Cisplatin, did not suppress the cancer, just my blood counts. I had progression in my lungs and chest.
I thought I'd move on...

Well, I gave up on Tykerb. My body just can't hack it. Hopefully I'll be around for one of the new tki's, and it won't be as bad for me.

Hello to the world's best support group! I love you all.
I'm getting by. You can take Tykerb an hour before or an hour after eating. I've decided it's better if I take it after. I'm also sticking...
