Enhertu treatment and quality of life

Posted by cookercooker @cookercooker, Oct 6 4:39pm

Can anyone who has gone through this tell me how the protocol for this treatment contributes to quality of life. As I understand it, one must continue the treatment until they can't take it anymore (they die, the treatment is unendurable)? There are other treatment available, which seem to display similar OS, such as LenPem, which does have an end point.
Any comments would be really welcome. I've got to decide what to do, given the two choices.
Thanks:)

Hi, I was on Enhertu for 13 infusions. My tumors were stable and even shrunk some. I found it much better than Doxie and Carbo. The first days were fine because of the steroids. Day 4-6 or 7 nausea and fatigue but I was out walking and driving, By around day 11-12 I was playing pickleball My doctor had wanted to give me a rest after 6 months but I requested to go on another 3 months. I then had a bit of a lung condition known as ground glass...look it up, not really glass;-) I am on a chemo holiday right now and going to try Everolimus in two weeks hoping for as good a result as Enhertu. If it doesn't I may go back on Enhertu but a lower dose. The very best to you. Hugs!
