Hi @claudiac13
I think @Suki is right, TDMI is also known as Kadcyla.
I had 11 doses of Kadcyla due to residual cancer cells after 6 doses of Neo adjuvant TCHP treatment, lumpectomy and radiation therapy.

Whilst I now have some neuropathy in my feet it emerged early- during TCHP - before I started in Kadcyla and I don’t believe it was worsened by Kadcyla.
There’s a Triple Positive discussion group you can join where a few of us on the forum who have had it (or are still having it) have discussed our experiences. Great to ask the question, as Triple Positive and/or HER2 + is a less common breast cancer type and I didn’t know anyone who’d had Kadcyla when I went looking for information about side effects and experience. I thought the data from the KATHERINE trial was influential and helpful when my oncologist explained I would be having this combined Herceptin plus chemo compound drug.

For me it was a more manageable experience, with fewer side effects compared to TCHP, and it was great to get back some aspects of pre treatment life eg hair (woot!) but I did have to manage my expectations (and impatience 🤣) during the treatment.
Sending you all the best for the next phase- I felt fortunate to have these options 🌸🌻
