I was diagnosed de novo March 2023. HER2+ er- pr-. My first line of treatment was that I was in a trial for Enhertu. I left trial and then did Herceptin, Perjeta, and Taxol. I stopped taxol last June, and my cancer has stayed stable. My question is, is anyone on just Herceptin and Perjeta, and if so, how long has it worked for you? Thank you. Stay strong thrivers!

It sounds like finding stability with your current treatment is really encouraging after navigating the trial and different medication combinations. Many community members have shared experiences with maintenance therapy using these targeted treatments, and the duration of effectiveness can vary quite a bit from person to person based on individual factors. Hopefully others in the community will share their experiences with this treatment combination to help give you a sense of what to expect moving forward.

I am on letrozole as well ,, it can be challenging with some of the side affects like hot flashes and I get rashes at times constipation ,, I try not to let it get to me mentally no use in complaining it’s a personal journey unless you are going through it like we are ,, positive attitude and faith is a very big part of this journey ,, I try to live a normal life even with all the tests appointments and treatment every three weeks ,, it’s all we can do
