Re: Intrathecal (IT) Herceptin (Trastuzumab) for brain mets (Leptomeningeal Metastase

Hi Denise,
My wife is still doing quite well, but had some brain hemorrhage which resulted in restricted movement of her right arm. Claxane has been reduced after 6 weeks from the PE, it is now down to 40mg per day. Otherwise cancer is under control, edema is still present so most probably it will soon be irradiated locally to kill any remaining cancerous cells. She had restarted IT herceptin 4 weeks ago at 150mg again, after an absence of 7 weeks.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks for asking, Denise, how are you doing?

Mario
