Stage 4 after 2 yrs being stage 2
I am looking for advice on treatment from any stage 4 women. I was just diagnosed with a pituitary tumor(her2/ER+) and a spot on liver and C7 vertebrae. I meet with my MO on Wed and would like to go in informed. He suggested on the phone we will do Herceptin/Perjeta/and something else. I am
looking for suggestions on that something else! Anyone use Kadcyla? Or anyone else? The pituitary tumor will be treated with gamma knife.
Thank you for any suggestions or advice on how any drugs have worked for you. Also, my MO doesn't do tumor markers, should I insist on them??
Thanks,
Kathy
