Anyone else on Herceptin & Perjeta indefinately???
Hi Ladies Hope everyone is doing well, it has been ages since I last visited. I was wondering if there are many out there who are undergoing herceptin and perjeta treatment every 3 weeks with no end...
Hi Kari
I'm also on the herceptin/perjeta combo every 3 weeks indefinitely, though have only been on it about the same length of time as you.
So far all is going well, with minimal side effects. I have noticed that my nails are really thin and break very easily, despite being more than 12 months post chemo. I also get itchy forearms and neck, but a daily claratyne tends to keep that in check.
As annoying as these things are, they seem pretty insignificant when compared to all the good that these wonder drugs are doing!
Take care,
