Ovarian cancer: Anyone here on Enhertu?

I just Googled Enhertu, and learned that it was approved by the FDA three weeks ago for HER2 positive solid tumors, other than breast, gastric, and non-small cell lung cancers, where it was previously approved. So people in other support groups might have more insight into things like side effects.

But it sounds like it could be a good option if your cancer is HER2-positive.

Yes, I’m in 4 support groups which is very supportive. I’m also involved with many zoom calls with ovarian cancer patients & a well known gyn/onc will hold discussions. Very informative.

I keep hearing terms like HER2- positive, etc. from other people. My oncologist has never even mentioned things like this. Should I be asking for more information on my tumor/cancer type?

The first chemo left me with several tumors which were in areas that the cancer surgeon said they couldn’t be removed. He thought chemo would get rid of them but it didn’t.

I’ve been on Avastin for several months which has stopped their growth. I figure that fairly soon, I will be in the position of “What do I do next?”
