Re: NED has left the building, and my body, but hopefully not my brain:(
I'm so sorry you've had this news - has your onc said it is definite progression? I have heard of stents being used. Could you go back to a drug that has worked well in the past in conjunction with Perjeta and Herceptin? What about compassionate access for Perjeta? Have you done a platinum chemo? I was being suggested this this week. Another suggestion for me was Avastin or Afatinib. JYou have a very involved history so just throwing some stuff out there. Remember Darlene Gant had a good response to Perjeta so there are options. Remember to breathe.
