Re: Enhertu

So Nina is my wife. November 2009 they found brain Mets. Local Raleigh North Carolina Onc said she was done. We went to multiple cancer centers around the country and decided on MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Surgical removal of 2 inch diameter by 1/4inch thick leptomeningeal cancer lesion. There were repeated new lesions despite radiation and chemo. December 2011 there were 25 to 30 tumors at the base of the spine. Nina was given 4 months to live. She became a leader in Intrathecal Herceptin into the cerebral spinal fluid. It was a game changer. Two spots never wanted to go away as they were deep in the brain. Kadcyla didn't work on those and neither did small molecule treatment. Nina started Enhertu in January 2022 and the lesions are being attacked. Small one is about half the size from 6 months ago. Larger one is showing higher blood flow but 30% smaller. For brain Mets, there might be a chance.
