Thanks Pam.
Yes, Kadcyla is an option, but I'm being told by oncologists that Perjeta + Herceptin + Taxol would be the best option. My children are still only 7 & 9 years old, so I'm quite honestly looking for maximum extension of my life with minimal side effects so we can all get on with life. Ordering these available treatments in the most effective order is my priority to maximise longevity... We are considering surgery too, in case that will also get me extra time before starting a new systemic therapy, as Herceptin is currently keeping bones, liver & lungs under control, while I have growth in the supraclavicular lymph nodes only (per the latest PET scan). There are options, just trying to wade through the research and advice for the "best" option given my treatment goals.
Best wishes to you for your ongoing treatment!!
