Re: update - liver resection after taxol/Herc/Perj

Glad to hear the resection went well and wishing you a long time on the Herceptin/ Perjeta mix, as many of us have had. It is hard to be going through all this and Covid too, so take specially good care of yourself and enjoy the coming of spring.
Best wishes..... Pam

Re: update - liver resection after taxol/Herc/Perj

I see this forum is a sleepy one, with less activity that i thought when I joined. But sometimes there's a couple readers and repliers. So, for those on a similar journey, I will update with some good news.
Since my liver resection in May last year, I've had two CT scans and a PET CT. All of them have come back with no evidence of active disease.
I continue on Perjeta/Herceptine/Fulvestrant. Side effects are minimal.

So grateful!
