Let you know about Prejeta

Hi
I wanted to let you know about a drug I was taking - called Prejeta, by Roche.
I was diagnosed with BC about 8 months ago. 41yo. HER2 Tripple positive.
Did a lot of research, and had some information from overseas.
Prejeta is similar to Hercipitin, and can be given only to HER2 positive patience. It was clinicly tested in Australia few years ago, but was put on the PBS just for stages 3 and 4. I was stage 2 (with lymph nodes impacted). 
I asked my oncologyst to make sure I get this drug, it is given at the same time as Hercipitin 4-6 doses, before surgery. You need to pay for it.

I stress all women to do the research and if you in similar situation like I was please speak to your oncologist about this drug. Please google Prejeta.

Wishing us all very good news

Take care.

  • Hi there, I didn't have to research as my oncologist put me on this, along with Herceptin.  I have both drugs every three weeks, and unless my secondaries get worse I will remain on them for an indefinate time.  Very little side effects for me.
