Re: Intrathecal (IT) Herceptin (Trastuzumab) for brain mets (Leptomeningeal Metastase
After all we got accepted both in france and chicago trial, but never went, because our oncologist decided that he will do it for us, because he believed that this was the best available.
My wife started 18 days ago on IT herceptin. Already took 30mg first week, then 30mg second week, and 50mg two days ago. No side effects except for a headache peaking two days after administration, which can be controlled through pain killers and light dose of steroids.
It looks like it is working because she already feels much much better. Well, we believe strongly that this is the best available treatment for breast cancer mets in the brain when you are HER2+.
Will keep you updated with next MRI in less than a month.
