For how long did you get the Perjeta with your Herceptin?

Happy New Year ItsmeJennifer, I have been on Taxatere and Taxo for alittle over a year and a few months. Just now starting to receive Herpatin and Prejeta to keep my liver tumors stable...praying for the best. I never received radiation and no removal of the breast either my cancer started in my lymph nodes and lungs and liver so it has been painful physically and emotionally. You and others give me hope of survival . Thanks for the post. So you have been in remission for 16 years and what side affects has the Herpatin given you. And when does the fatigue stop?

I just read through all of you information. I just wanted to say that you give me hope. I hope that I am blessed with as many years as you have. We are very lucky to be living in this day and age. New treatments are popping up all the time. Take care.

Thanks so much for your reply. I needed the advice because I have so many mixed up feelings.

Welcome to the site. I am sure that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need someone to talk to. We are all in the same boat when it comes to emotions and feelings about our health. Just know that no question is to silly to ask and if you need to vent because you are having a bad day, we are here for you. I hope you find this site as helpful to you as it has been for me.

Research is ongoing, some may come our way. I also recommend Inspire, they have an active her2 thread going. Fear is a tough one, I know that. I wish for you remarkable response and many more years. We her2 gals know about hope. I lived in La Crescenta California until my husband took a job in Maryland. Miss California!

Hi Californian, I grew up in Imperial Beach & spent many years in La Crescenta. When I visit my daughter in Santa Clara I do a happy homecoming dance. I do recommend the Inspire.com site & also Smart Patients (I met one of their founders) because there is so much to continue to learn, all of these sites have some generous folks with extraordinary knowledge they willingly share.

I saw you posted about having heart palpitations. Have you had them before? Does your oncologist know you are having them? If not, make sure you call and tell them about it. Herceptin and Perjeta can effect your heart, as I'm sure you are aware since you have probably had heart monitoring since the time you began Herceptin treatment.

Hello ItsmeJennifer great to have you on board, I see you already have been given great insight and asked wonderful question about your therapy. I just want to add a great big #HUG and tell you to keep fighting!

Hi, Jennifer.
I belong to an organization of great women that have faced the news of breast cancer..it's not recognized by "society" but it's one many of us joined unwittingly. I've deemed it's name, Pink Lady Society. The perks are other pink ladies that offer you hope, advice, prayers (if wanted), and laughter.

We're practically neighbors as I live in Auburn. I don't know if you know but there is an amazing support group on Wed. mornings at the Gold Rush Chevrolet dealer. It is not just for the patients but anyone who has been effected by any type of cancer.

The meeting begins at 9:30 and ends when it's done. Dr. Jonathan Hake is a wonderful compassionate doctor that is a great resource of information inc. clinical trials, etc.

I will be returning to the group when my job ends in January. I have been a part of the group since 2008 when I was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer.

Any ?, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Peace and healing,
Claudia
