Re: ENHERTU aka DS8401A

Oh Flori,
So glad you checked in. We have all been thinking and worrying about you!
You are such an amazing woman! My Onc tells me Enhertu will be my next chemo too. I wonder if it is easier on...

Unhappy It's Been Awhile

Haven't posted in awhile, so thought I'd check in. I've been dealing with a steady worsening right arm/ hand weakness for the last two years. After being referred to a neurologist and trying...

Dear Flori,

I can't imagine how very tired you must be of this battle that just rages on and on and on....

I was so hoping you would finally get some positive results. At the risk of sounding...

Re: Three-in-one molecule shows promise in her2+ bc

Love the part that says: “The newly crafted molecule is non toxic, simple to produce, and cost-effective”!

Thanks for posting Lani, this one sounds so promising!

Re: Chemo-Induced Osteoporosis:beating it naturally?

Hi Jessica,

I too will be following this thread for ideas. I broke my leg last April when my horse spooked and ran me into a tree, twisting my leg until my tibia and fibula snapped.

Thumbs up Re: Cyberknife or Whole Brain?

Wishing you good luck on Thursday Katherine. If the cyber knife is anything like the gamma knife, which I had on a single brain met, it should be fairly easy. I had mine done at UCSF, and we even...

Re: Cyberknife or Whole Brain?

Katherine,
I would try to do the cyber knife if possible because your mets are fairly small. I think they can do a few at a time, if memory serves.

Thank you Laurel for reminding me of who it...

Re: Need input, KADCYLA or TAS116?

Hi Flori,

I'm thinking of you too and sending positive thoughts your way.

As a side note, since I have been on the Kadcyla, as opposed to the Herceptin and Perjeta, my heart function has...

Re: When to consider ending treatment?

I will be thinking of you on Monday Fiori and hoping your first infusion goes well.

Re: When to consider ending treatment?

Hi Colleen,

Just my 2 cents here, but I wish that I had never stopped my good old Vitamin H! I too was in Long term remission, and really thought perhaps I was cured. Inspired by our own Steph...

I've been fortunate in that my treatments have never been suspended due to low platelets. When my platelets got down to around 100, I started to worry as my doctor said they might...

Re: Need input, KADCYLA or TAS116?

Dear Flori,

Just wanted to share my experience with Kadcyla. I've been on it two years now, and have found it to be quite tolerable. However, Herceptin alone, was the easiest drug I've ever been...

Re: In Praise of Perjeta

Good advice Phil!

I had pretty much stopped having PET scans because of all the radiation over the years, and just relied on tumor markers which had always been so accurate for me.

Amy,
good that you've found the trigger for your GERD. It is far better to try to prevent it, than having to treat it after the fact.

My esophagus has never been the same since my stem cell...
