Honestly, the ground glass wasn't bad. It can be caused by Enhertu, not that unusual and it does clear up. I took some prednisone for a short while, although it can clear up on its own once you stop Enhertu. That being said, always be aware of your lungs while on Enhertu, it can cause issues (like anything else we have all been on). So hope you have a great result with Enhertu as there are a percentage of women that have excellent results. Will be sure to give this group a report back on Everolimus early next year. Hugs to you and everyone!

I just wanted to expand on "grounds glass". I had to look this up, since I envisioned bits of glass in the lungs. The term doesn't mean that. In fact the term is "ground glass opacity" and refers to the patterns of fluid or mucous or inflammation that shows up on a chest CT scan. When I read this I was relieved. To read the report see here. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/ground-glass-opacity#interstitial-lung-disease
If you scroll down you''ll find information on interstitial lung disease.
