Experiences with Kadcyla and Enhertu after cancer treatment?

I am on Enhertu. Have been since December. I don't really have many side effects to speak of.

Thank you for sharing your experience. How long will you be taking it?

As long as it keeps working. I am HER2 triple positive, stage 4. My cancer journey started two years ago next month. I was on Perjeta and Herceptin, March of last year I went into remission but it only lasted 8 months. It came back with two little lumps in my right breast. DR started me on Enhertu in December. My petscan in june showed no active cancer. So I am in remission again. There is no cure for stage IV, chemo keeps the cancer dormant. We will always have cancer. Good luck 🙏

Thank you 🙏🙏

I had one dose of Kadcyla. I was willing to try it….It sent my liver enzymes high and my platelets low. Two weeks later, I had gout (the absolute worst pain I have EVER had!). It was not beneficial for me. Will see what my counts are before infusion Tues Sept 16, but will return to Herceptin/Perjetta for the remainder of my treatments.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have had gout in the past- it’s no joke. I already have platelet problems… I guess I will weigh all options. Prayers for you in your journey 💕🙏
