Re: Intrathecal (IT) Herceptin (Trastuzumab) for brain mets (Leptomeningeal Metastase
Nina is still doing great. The bump up in Herceptin IT dosage might have something to do with it. There are two small areas that need to be followed. One is in the L2-L3 spinal nerves, but it is really hard to see. The other is on the L5 top plate, but it appeared back in the spring after a really brutal Lumbar Puncture. In the mean time, Nina has been back home since Labor day weekend and then flew out to Houston for treatment, Denver to visit her mother, back to Houston for treatment and eval, then home this past Saturday. She is walking like crazy, driving, computering, yogaing, etc. We are not out of the danger zone, but things are in a comfortable spot. A person from the mid east started her treatment regimen two weeks ago with Nina's method. So there are a few already being helped. Time to see what I can do to get more treated and healthy. Still some reluctance on deep brain treatment, but working on having more women with that issue addressed in the next few months.
