Re: Treatment after Kadcyla?
Jules
I hope other people put in their input but if you can get Herceptin with the Eribulin it would seem the way to go. Im sorry you are having problems with the medical board.
I tell what I know about Eribulin from memory. It inhibits microtubules like Vincristine and Taxol drugs do. I think the brand name is Halavan. I think it is given twice a week during the cycle. I forgot the dose, 1.4mg /m2 comes to mind. Not sure
The big side effects are neutropenia, hair loss and peripheral neuropathy. And the usual fatigue. constipation and diarrhea etc.
I imagine they dont want to combine Adriamycin with Herceptin because both drugs can affect the heart. Hope this helps a bit
